The Google Pixel 7a was the ultimate example of a great mobile phone in great specs at a great price, even offering the software virtues and benefits always associated with the American tech giant. It seems that once again Google will increase the price of one of the mobile phones which sells the most.

Now, according to a new report, Google is planning to increase the price of the Pixel 8a when it launches in a few months. In fact, the report cites sources from a retailer German where The Pixel 8a was placed at 569.90 dollars. This represents an increase, compared to the price in Germany, of just over 70 dollars. Currently it is sold there for 499 dollars, while here in Europe it is 509 dollars.
If for some reason Google does not increase the price of the next Pixel 9, the Pixel 8 can currently be purchased for 799 dollars, the price gap between the two is narrowing, although there are also differences in specifications. Of course, at the moment the reason for the price increase of the upcoming Pixel 8a is unknown.

Another of the changes that it will receive will be in the design, as we have seen in some of its leaks, so that it continues, yes, with the same language and thus can be identify perfectly with mobile phones from other companies. At the moment the date of its arrival is unknown, but with Google I/O approaching (it will take place in May), this could be the best possible event for its announcement.
