Actual investigation on the rising trend of mobile phone prices: Some phones have increased by over 500 yuan, while phones priced at over 1000 yuan are rapidly disappearing.

Affected by factors such as the increase in memory prices, the previously expected "wave of price increases for smartphones" is continuing to unfold. A reporter visited several offline stores and found that brands such as Honor, OPPO, and vivo have already completed price adjustments, with overall price increases ranging from 300 to 500 yuan. Xiaomi and Huawei have not yet followed suit with price adjustments for some models. According to sales staff, most models from Honor have increased in price, with price increases mostly around 300 yuan; OPPO prices have increased by around 300 to 500 yuan. In addition to Honor and OPPO, stores selling vivo, Samsung, and other brands have also completed price adjustments, with price increases ranging from 10% to 30%, and some popular models have seen more significant price hikes. During visits to offline stores, it was difficult to find models priced at 1,000 yuan or even slightly above, and some models that are still available are likely to be phased out soon. The market is rapidly polarizing: flagship models are becoming more expensive, with the entry barrier now raised to over 1,500 yuan. It is clear that the era of thousand-yuan smartphones is gradually becoming a thing of the past, and in the future, smartphones may trend towards "high configuration, high price."
