"It costs $499, which is exactly what the Pixel 9A cost. It weighs the same. It measures the same. It has the same cameras, the same battery, the same chip, and the same 6.3 inch display. There is a episode of The Office where Pam preoccupies Michael by presenting two identical photo printouts as a spot-the-difference puzzle. Google has essentially done that, except the printout costs five hundred dollars."
"To be precise about what actually changed: the display is about 10% brighter, the glass protecting it moved from Gorilla Glass 3 to Gorilla Glass 7i, wired charging climbed from 23 watts to 30, and wireless charging went from 7.5 watts to 10. The camera bump, already barely perceptible on the 9A, is now completely flush. In some regions, satellite SOS is supported. That is the complete list. Google did not forget to send the rest of it."
"The Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro both run on the Tensor G5. The Pixel 10A runs on the Tensor G4, the same chip from last year's A-series, and the year before that in the Pixel 9 Pro. For years, buying the A-series meant getting the current flagship chip in a cheaper body. That was a genuinely good deal. Google has decided, apparently, that it was too good."
The Pixel 10A costs $499, the same price as the Pixel 9A. It retains the same weight, measurements, cameras, battery, Tensor G4 chip, and 6.3-inch display. Notable hardware changes are a roughly 10% brighter display, Gorilla Glass 7i replacing Gorilla Glass 3, wired charging increasing from 23W to 30W, wireless charging rising from 7.5W to 10W, and a completely flush camera bump. Satellite SOS is available in some regions. The Pixel 10 and 10 Pro use Tensor G5 while the 10A keeps Tensor G4. Software features and seven years of updates remain major selling points.
