"It's no surprise by now that the midrange smartphone category is nearly as potent as what was once considered the premium category. The Apple iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, and Google Pixel phones now offer compelling features that resemble what you might have found only in the top tier, even a few years ago. The cameras are good, the batteries last more than a full day, and the software gets many years of updates."
"The most immediately obvious change this year is the design, as Google has completely flattened the rear camera bar so that it blends into the back panel -- eliminating any protrusion. ZDNET Editor in Chief Kerry Wan attended a hands-on preview, and confirmed the camera bump protrudes even less than the 9a, which was already mostly flush.

The Pixel 10a brings premium Pixel capabilities to a $499 midrange phone, combining a flatter, more deliberate design with advanced camera software and durable construction. The rear camera bar is fully flattened to sit nearly flush, reducing protrusion while retaining a 48MP main sensor and 13MP ultrawide. The phone adopts camera and AI features previously limited to Pixel 10 and 10 Pro, offers a brighter display and tougher build, and includes long-term software updates and Satellite SOS. Battery life exceeds a full day, and availability begins March 5.
