What does the Google pixel price increase mean?
The rise in prices is thought to be associated with rising memory and storage prices. Buyers will be paying more but also getting twice the base storage and this will move concerns of running out of storage.
However, users who have generally bought the 128GB version might prefer to keep without upgrading because of the increased cost.
Should You Hold on Purchasing?
It would make sense to delay purchasing the Pixel phone since Google is known for offering huge discounts on its phones mere weeks after releasing them, especially during shopping holidays.
In case the Pixel 11 offers nothing more than limited upgrades in terms of hardware, the Pixel 10 will definitely be worth its weight soon enough.
