"There's a reason why I've long liked Google's price-friendly A-series. You get a very similar software experience-sometimes nearly identical!-as phones twice the price. It's a great showcase of how smart, helpful software can make a huge difference in your day-to-day."
"Even with minimal changes, the $499 Pixel 10a is a great pick for anyone hunting for a well-rounded smartphone while keeping price in mind. It does nearly everything well, while offering some of the longest software support you'll find for the money."
"I spent four hours on the phone with Delta after my flight was canceled during the most recent snowstorm in New York City. But guess what? I barely heard a lick of the airline's awful hold music because I used Google's Hold for Me feature on the Pixel 10a, where the assistant does the job instead."
The Pixel 10a delivers solid performance and a great camera experience at $499, featuring a brighter screen, faster charging, and a flat camera module. Google's software provides numerous smart, helpful features like Hold for Me, which uses the assistant to wait on phone calls. The phone maintains the same processor, design, and battery capacity as the Pixel 9a, making it largely unchanged on the hardware front. Despite minimal innovation, the Pixel 10a remains competitive and well-rounded for budget-conscious buyers. Long software support adds significant value. However, the Pixel 9a may be worth considering if available at a discount, potentially offering better value.
