Google Pixel 10a
Worth the wait
The Google Pixel 10a was worth the wait as the new option of choice for those who want to save a few bucks and are willing to make a few concessions in power, features, and durability. Even though it's a budget option, like other "A" series phones in Google's line, it will suit most users.
Pros
- The most affordable option in the line
- Has the same main and ultrawide cameras, higher-res front camera
- Bigger battery
Cons
- Not available until March
- Not as powerful with less RAM, G4 processor
- Missing a telephoto lens
Google Pixel 10
Only a slight step-up
Google's good, better, best strategy works until you throw the A series phones into the mix. The Google Pixel 10a follows the same trend as the Pixel 9a and others in the A series as being a pretty solid device, so you might want to skip the Pixel 10 and go with the Pixel 10a instead if you're looking for a budget option that still packs a punch.
Pros
- A more powerful processor, RAM
- Adds a telephoto lens
- Has Pixelsnap wireless charging
Cons
- More expensive without a huge step-up in features
- Smaller battery
- Lower-res front camera
