Google's first Pixel phone went on sale on October 20, 2016, starting at $649.
How we worked it out: Launch price: $649 for the 32GB model. We put the $649 into Google stock at its closing price on October 20, 2016 ($39.47, adjusted for later stock splits and dividends) and value those shares at today's price. Launch prices are US list prices before tax.
