The 128GB Pixel 10a prices have reportedly gone up in the United States from $499 to $599.

The $649 price of the 256GB model has also been dropped.

Google has not made a specific change in India, but a real price hike all over the world.

Why did Google increase the Pixel 10a price?

Google hasn't yet given a detailed public explanation for the price increase in the reports that are public now.

But the transition is happening at a time when memory and storage prices are on the rise, driven in part by robust demand for parts for AI data centers.

Industry analysts have correlated rising memory costs with rising prices of smart phones by several manufacturers.

So it makes sense to consider costs of the components as a potential reason, but it is important to note that this is separate from an official confirmation from Google.

Is the Pixel 10a still worth buying?

That's up to the buyer.

The Pixel 10a's value proposition, at ₹49,999, was pretty straightforward for customers wanting Google's software experience, camera processing and software support in the years to come.

The competition starts getting tough when the price of the game is ₹55,999.

Before buying the Pixel 10a, buyers should take into account other phones in the ₹50,000–₹60,000 price range.

There's Google's software experience, Pixel-exclusive features and camera processing that are still significant factors to take into account.

Bank offers can reduce the effective price

While the official price has risen, it's possible to discover discounts and banking offers.

According to Gadgets 360, those who avail the credit card EMI offers can get an instant cashback up to ₹3,000.

But the offers may vary; therefore, buyers should check the offers before buying.

A wider smartphone pricing trend

The whole reason Pixel 10a is being priced up is because of the rising component prices in the smartphone industry, and that's a trend that isn't expected to reverse soon.

Other manufacturers have also been tweaking prices and so consumers are looking more closely at the original price and the current retail price.

For consumers, that can mean that the price of the phone on its launch day doesn't always stay the same months later.
