"Like other recent Pixel phones, the 10a will receive seven years of software and security updates. It will be offered in a range of colors including fog (light green), obsidian (black), berry (red) and lavender. The company is also releasing matching green and red versions of its $129 Pixel Buds 2a earbuds. The new phone can be purchased directly from Google or through carrier partners."
"The Pixel 10a arrives before Apple Inc. is set to introduce a new budget-friendly model of its own, the iPhone 17e. That device is expected to make its debut in the near future, with a $599 price matching last year's iPhone 16e. If Apple holds steady on pricing, that would give Google room to persuade shoppers that the Pixel 10a offers more value for $100 less."
"Google's latest handset has a modestly brighter display than last year's Pixel 9a and uses more recycled materials in its aluminum frame and plastic back. But other than fresh colors, a flatter back and slightly faster wireless charging (10 watts, up from 7.5), there aren't many significant hardware upgrades. Of note, the 10a lacks the PixelSnap magnetic Qi charging that was a signature feature of the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro Fold, an omission that could be disappointing to some shoppers."
The Pixel 10a is Google's latest entry-level smartphone, available for preorder with shipments starting March 5 and a $499 price. The phone will receive seven years of software and security updates and comes in fog, obsidian, berry and lavender colors, with matching green and red Pixel Buds 2a earbuds. Hardware changes include a modestly brighter display, increased recycled materials in the aluminum frame and plastic back, a completely flat back, and slightly faster wireless charging (10 watts). The 10a omits PixelSnap magnetic Qi charging as a cost-saving measure to hold the $499 price. The model aims to compete with Apple’s expected $599 iPhone 17e.
