Although the one-time payment in this deal might seem like an attractive catch, the monthly payment of Rs 2,799 for the long span of 18 months seems like too much amount to spare. Users should also keep in mind that Airtel offers Rs 649 per month plan on postpaid in which the telco bundles 90GB of data in total which is a lot more than the plan being bundled with the Pixel 2 XL. Also, Airtel has got another postpaid plan which is billed at Rs 499, offering 40GB data per month along with calling and other benefits.
