Due to the rising costs of core components such as chips and motherboards, some electronic products in Hefei have increased their purchase prices. Although mobile phone prices have not risen across the board, some popular models have been priced 200 to 300 yuan higher. The computer market is noticeably affected, with costs increasing by approximately 10%, but retailers are making efforts to maintain the selling prices.

Due to price increases in upstream core components such as chips and motherboards, in Hefei, Anhui, the procurement prices of some electronic products have quietly been raised. During visits to certain phone stores in Hefei, Anhui, we found that as of now, phone prices have not seen a broad-based increase, but some brands may have plans to adjust pricing later. However, in the Dazhonglou Electronic Communications Mall in Hefei, merchants confirmed that for some hot-selling phone models, manufacturers have directly raised prices by 200 to 300 yuan, and supplies are tight. Compared with the phone market, changes in the computer market are more noticeable. In one electronics specialty store in Hefei, the manager said that driven by rising prices of raw materials such as memory modules and motherboards, the wholesale cost of computers has gone up by about 10 percentage points, but the store is doing its best to keep the selling price at the pre-price-increase level through promotions and subsidy policies.
