Google has announced the launch of its two new flagships, the Pixel 2 and its larger Pixel 2 XL sibling. These devices are mostly positioned as the Android alternatives to the Apple offerings, so it comes as no surprise that they also do not feature headphone jacks.

Are you sure the countries listed correctly? Some of them are just too wierd. I have watched the live event and it is correct with the source you mentioned below.
QuotePixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL are available for pre-order today starting at $649 in the U.S. Both products are also available in Australia, Canada, Germany, India and U.K. We'll be bringing Pixel 2 XL to Italy, Singapore and Spain later this year. In the U.S., we're teaming up with Verizon to make Pixel available nationwide at all Verizon retail outlets as well as at Best Buy stores. Pixel is also being offered on the Google Store. And Project Fi fans will be happy to know that Pixel also works on the Fi network.
