Pixel Price Hike Leaves Users Disappointed
The latest Pixel series has been met with mixed reviews since its release last Wednesday. One of the main concerns is the price increase across all models, which has left some users feeling disappointed.
A comparison between the Pixel 10 and 11 series shows that prices have gone up by $100/£80 across the board, with the base model experiencing the largest percentage increase.
The author of the article notes that they would have chosen a Pro Pixel as their go-to option due to its affordability and features. However, the price hike has changed this perspective, making it difficult to justify the cost.
The industry's shift towards more expensive tech, driven by RAM shortages caused by the AI boom, is partly to blame for the price increase. Google's position as a major player in the sector means they bear some responsibility for absorbing component costs.
