Sibling rivalry may be the biggest problem for the young 10a.<\/p>\n<p>The Google Pixel 10a is <a href=\"compare.php3?idPhone1=14474&amp;idPhone2=13478#diff-\">mostly the same as the 9a<\/a>. It uses the same 6.3\u201d 1080p+ display (slightly brighter) now with Gorilla Glass 7i (replacing GG3), runs on the same Tensor G4 chipset and has the same 48+13MP camera. The battery capacity is the same too, 5,100mAh, though Google increased the wired (from 23W to 30W) and wireless (from 7.5W to 10W) charging speeds.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the biggest upgrade over the 9a is the addition of Satellite SOS support, though that is available only in some regions (here\u2019s the <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/pixelphone\/answer\/15254448?visit_id=639071870199800289-3194622072&amp;p=satellitesos&amp;rd=1#zippy=%2Clocations-where-satellite-sos-is-available\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">full list<\/a>).

Now it\u2019s \u20ac700 and you can also get the cheaper 128GB variant for \u20ac600. The Pixel 10 has the newer Tensor G5 chip (with 4GB RAM more than the 10a), Satellite SOS and even a dedicated telephoto camera (10.8MP 5x). It costs a bit extra, especially when the \u20ac100 store credit for the Pixel 10a is accounted for, but the Pixel 10 is the better phone overall.<\/p>\n<p>        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsmarena.com\/google_pixel_10_5g-13979.php\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">&#13;<br \/>\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/google-pixel-10-.jpg\" alt=\"Google Pixel 10\" width=\"75\" height=\"100\" class=\"left mr-20 ml-10\"\/>&#13;<br \/>\n        <\/a><\/p>\n<p>Of course, you can also have a look at the Pixel 9a, which is still available at just \u20ac370 for the base 128GB model.

The phone is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite, last year\u2019s flagship chipset that was way better than the Tensor G4. It has a larger 6,210mAh battery with 100W wired-only charging too.<\/p>\n<p>It also has better camera hardware than the Pixel 10a \u2013 a 50MP main with a larger 1\/1.55\u201d sensor (vs. 1\/2.0\u201d), a dedicated 50MP 2.5x\/60mm telephoto module and an 8MP ultra-wide. The Poco F8 Pro is a larger device with a 6.59\u201d display (12-bit, Dolby Vision) and you have to be okay with Xiaomi\u2019s HyperOS.<\/p>\n<p>        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsmarena.com\/xiaomi_poco_f8_pro_5g-14303.php\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">&#13;<br \/>\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/xiaomi-poco-f8-pro.jpg\" alt=\"Poco F8 Pro\" width=\"75\" height=\"100\" class=\"left mr-20 ml-10\"\/>&#13;<br \/>\n        <\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Poco X8 Pro will be official soon, but the outgoing Poco X7 Pro sports a solid discount right now, so it\u2019s still worth a look. This is a Dimensity 8400 Ultra phone with a 6.67\u201d display (12-bit, Dolby Vision) and a 6,000mAh battery with 90W wired-only charging. The cameras are nothing special, though with a 50MP main (1\/1.95\u201d) and an 8MP ultra-wide.<\/p>\n<p>        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsmarena.com\/xiaomi_poco_x7_pro-13582.php\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">&#13;<br \/>\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/xiaomi-poco-x7-pro.jpg\" alt=\"Poco X7 Pro\" width=\"75\" height=\"100\" class=\"left mr-20 ml-10\"\/>&#13;<br \/>\n        <\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Motorola Edge 70 fell by \u20ac50 compared to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsmarena.com\/weekly_deals_redmi_note_15_series_prices_are_falling_motorolas_also_get_discounts-news-71441.php\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">two weeks ago<\/a>. It\u2019s still not back down to the lowest price (\u20ac525) that we saw a few weeks prior, but it\u2019s close. And it might be better than the Pixel 10a, if you don\u2019t mind the larger size (6.7\u201d display). Well, it\u2019s taller and wider, but the phone is only 6mm thick and weighs 159g (compared to 9mm and 183g for the Pixel). And it has a decently-sized 4,800mAh battery (68W wired, 15W wireless charging).<\/p>\n<p>The Edge 70 is powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 and features three 50MP cameras \u2013 one with a 1\/1.56\u201d sensor in the main, one with a 120\u00b0 ultra-wide lens and one on the front.<\/p>\n<p>        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsmarena.com\/motorola_edge_70_5g-14216.php\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">&#13;<br \/>\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/motorola-edge-70-5g.jpg\" alt=\"Motorola Edge 70\" width=\"75\" height=\"100\" class=\"left mr-20 ml-10\"\/>&#13;<br \/>\n        <\/a><\/p>\n<p>The prices of the Redmi Note 15 Pro and Redmi Note 15 Pro+ are down a few euros compared to two weeks ago. The two phones share a 6.83\u201d display (12-bit, Dolby Vision) and have the same cameras \u2013 200MP main and 8MP ultra-wide. The Pro model is powered by the Dimensity 7400 Ultra and a 6,580mAh battery (45W charging), while the Pro+ model features the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 and a 6,500mAh battery (with faster 100W charging).<\/p>\n<p>        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsmarena.com\/xiaomi_redmi_note_15_pro_5g_(global)-14327.php\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">&#13;<br \/>\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/xiaomi-redmi-note-15-pro-global.jpg\" alt=\"Xiaomi Redmi Note 15 Pro\" width=\"75\" height=\"100\" class=\"left mr-20 ml-10\"\/>&#13;<br \/>\n        <\/a><\/p>\n<p>        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsmarena.com\/xiaomi_redmi_note_15_pro+_5g_(global)-14326.php\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">&#13;<br \/>\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/xiaomi-redmi-note-15-pro-plus-global.jpg\" alt=\"Xiaomi Redmi Note 15 Pro+\" width=\"75\" height=\"100\" class=\"left mr-20 ml-10\"\/>&#13;<br \/>\n        <\/a><\/p>\n<p>Finally, the Motorola Moto G77 and Moto G67 are available, having launched earlier this week. The G77 stands out with its 108MP camera, but it\u2019s no match for the two Redmis above.
