Google released its budget a-series version of the Pixel 10 last month, and though there is not much dividing the 10a from the previous 9a, it offers a few software updates that can make it worth it for some people. And if that’s you, you can get this budget phone at a major discount right now. On Amazon, an unlocked 128GB Google 10a is $449 (originally $499), and all four colors are on sale.

As you can read in Lifehacker’s review, the specs on the Pixel 10a are similar to the Pixel 9. It has a Tensor G4 processor, 8GB of RAM, and up to 256GB of storage, as well as the same camera system, with a 48MP main lens, a 13MP ultrawide lens, and a 13MP selfie camera. The battery life is the same 30+ hours, too, and the MagSafe-like Pixelsnap feature is gone. The main upgrade here is a brighter 3,000 nits screen, a thinner bezel, and an improved Corning Gorilla Glass 7i cover glass.
But the 10a’s true value might be in the software and AI. It includes two AI camera features that debuted with the Pixel 10. One is Auto Best Take, which takes 150 frames in one click, chooses the best picture, and automatically deletes the rest (or stitches together elements from multiple shots to make a new “best” image). And Camera Coach, which guides you with AI on how to take the best picture. Google also brought Satellite SOS for the first time to an a-series phone. It lets you connect to a Satellite and ping emergency services for help if you have no cell signal. There’s also an array of settings and features you can turn on to make your experience better.
What do you think so far?
If you’re thinking of upgrading from a Pixel 9a or later, there’s not much here to make it worth it. However, if you have anything older than a Pixel 9 or are switching to Pixel for the first time, this is a great opportunity to do so at a nice discount.
