Google Pixel 10a review: cheaper Android is great, but no real advance
"Priced from 499 (549/$499/A$849), the Pixel 10a is more like a second edition of last year's excellent Pixel 9a. The two phones share the same Tensor G4 chip, not the newer G5 in the rest of the 799 and up Pixel 10 line; the same memory, storage and cameras; the same size 6.3in OLED screen, though the Pixel 10a reaches a higher peak brightness making it slightly easier to read outside."
"The new phone feels well made at least, with aluminium sides, glass on the front and a high-quality plastic back. It has 2D face recognition and an optical fingerprint scanner under the screen for unlocking the phone, which is fast but not quite as reliable as the ultrasonic fingerprint readers on more expensive phones."
"The battery lasts a good 52 or so hours per charge, including actively using the screen for seven hours across a mix of 5G and wifi. Most users should only need to charge it every other day. The Pixel 10a supports 30W charging, hitting 50% in about 30 minutes, and 10W Qi wireless charging."
The Pixel 10a is a budget-friendly smartphone priced from $499, positioned as a second edition of the Pixel 9a with nearly identical specifications. Both phones share the same Tensor G4 chip, memory, storage, and camera systems, though the 10a features a slightly brighter 6.3-inch OLED screen. The device includes a flat back design, 2D face recognition, optical fingerprint scanner, and emergency satellite messaging. Performance is adequate for most tasks and gaming, though not exceptional. Battery life extends approximately 52 hours per charge with moderate use, supporting 30W fast charging and 10W wireless charging. The phone feels well-constructed with aluminum sides and glass front, though the plastic back differs from premium models.
