Google's Budget Pixel Phones Rapidly Losing Their Value as Prices Rise
- Google's Pixel A-series budget phones have increased in price significantly, now costing up to $550 at launch for the rumored Pixel 8a
- The rising Pixel prices are not justified by impressive specs or features compared to cheaper rivals like OnePlus and Samsung
- Competitors like Samsung and Motorola offer more affordable smartphones with better value than Google's devices
- The Pixel A-series phones used to start at $350 but have risen over $200 in just a couple of years
- With phones like the OnePlus 12R costing $500 with flagship specs, Google risks pricing itself out of the budget market
