Isn't that the segment the Pixel _a line targets? The 7a is $499...

Yes, but the 6P was the flagship.

This was back in the day where a flagship phones base prices were like 600/700€.

Now it's double.

In 2018 the Samsung Galaxy 9 was 700€. Now a Samsung Galaxy S23 is 1.200€.

Back then, phone providers were competing to be the Nexus brand, so it was generally a loss-leader. The brand that released the Nexus phone would release their actual flagship about 3 months later.

Also, inflation.

7a is almost a flagship, so most people don't have to care their flagship series. Just buy a series. Nowadays "flagship" means that the best camera they can achieve.

“Now it’s double” is what they will write on the tombstone for this era.

They pack a lot more stuff into phones now too. Better screens, multiple cameras, etc. Today's flagships are also just physically larger than the older phones for the differences that makes.
