Huawei has increased prices of its flagship smartphones by as much as US$200, attributing the hike to rising memory chip procurement costs that have added roughly that amount to per-unit manufacturing expenses. The move highlights how surging memory prices are being passed on to consumers, and industry watchers are watching whether other smartphone makers will follow with similar increases.
Why now: Rising memory chip costs are squeezing smartphone makers, and Huawei's price hike is a visible sign of that passing to consumers.
