Pixel 10a Price Hiked by $100 as Component Costs Continue to Rise

Google has quietly raised the price of its budget-friendly Pixel 10a smartphone. The device, previously priced at $499, is now listed for $599 on Google's online store in the US.

This move follows Samsung's decision to increase prices for its smartphones yesterday. Component costs have been rising steadily, leading some experts to predict that other manufacturers may also raise their prices in the coming weeks and months.

For now, the Pixel 11 family remains unaffected by this price hike. However, with component prices continuing to rise, it's likely only a matter of time before we see further price increases across the industry.
