tarkivsaker Should be fine. I don't think any store in Sweden sell OEM locked phones nowadays.
And for you or anyone else in Sweden looking for a Pixel 8 right now, I can mention that Hallon (carrier) are selling them for 160 SEK x 36 months if you are/become a a subscriber. So that is 5670 SEK in total + 1 month data subscription.
I mention this because
1) that's roughly 1500-2000 SEK cheaper for a Pixel 8 than anywhere else in Sweden I found right now,
2) they clearly state their phones are not OEM locked and
3) that you are not locked into the subscription at Hallon, so you can just pay 1 month subscription and then leave if you want.

installment payment: https://support.hallon.se/hc/sv/articles/19389281509393-Hur-fungerar-delbetalningen
I do not know however, what the terms for paying of the installment payment in one go are specifically since I can't check due to my phone being a brick (so no BankID to log in with). But this deal is until 2024-04-22, so I can report later next week when I get access if anyone wants?
