The original title was ``Purchasing a Pixel 8 Pro in the United States turns out to be cheaper than in Japan and comes with a free Pixel Watch 2, also comparing the Pixel 8 series and its rivals'', but the calculation does not take into account tax rates. Therefore, we have removed the title and text related to the phrase 'cheaper than Japan.'
