The Google Pixel 10a was introduced at the same price as the Pixel 9a, positioning it as the entry-level model in Google’s Pixel series. Officially priced at 549 euros for the 128 GB version on Google’s store, it currently offers a significant discount with the code GBDAY2026, bringing the price down to 399.20 euros until September 28. This makes it an attractive option for budget-conscious buyers. The Pixel 10a features a 6.3-inch OLED screen with a resolution of 2424 x 1080 pixels, a 5100 mAh battery, and Google’s Tensor G4 chip, which powers both performance and AI features. The design is similar to the Pixel 9a but includes a more durable Gorilla Glass 7i on the back. One of the most notable changes in the Pixel 10a is the elimination of the camera bump on the back. Unlike previous models, the camera lenses are now flush with the chassis, and the glass is slightly recessed, giving the phone a more balanced look. This design improvement helps the device sit flat on a desk and avoids the common issue of phones tilting when touched — a rare feature in 2026, especially with larger camera modules on many devices. The screen is also under the fingerprint sensor, and the phone maintains a compact form factor, making it more pocket-friendly than larger smartphones. Inside the Pixel 10a, Google has equipped it with the Tensor G4 chip, paired with an 8 GB RAM and options for 128 or 256 GB of storage. The phone supports modern connectivity features like 5G, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 6.0, and NFC, and comes with Android 16, already updated to Android 17. The camera system includes a 48-megapixel main sensor and a 13-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens on the back, with 4K video recording at 60 frames per second. The front-facing camera also has a 13-megapixel sensor, suitable for high-quality selfies and video calls. Despite its improvements in design and features, the Pixel 10a is not without its drawbacks. In testing, it was found to be slightly less dynamic in performance compared to the Pixel 9a, especially in tasks beyond design changes. For users already owning a Pixel 9a, there’s little incentive to upgrade. However, for those coming from an older smartphone, the Pixel 10a offers strong value for less than 400 euros, combining modern specs with a sleek, flat design and solid performance for its price point.
