We have new info on the upcoming Google Pixel 10a smartphone, courtesy of Evan Blass. Blass shared a network certification from Verizon that essentially confirms its key specs. It was already expected that the phone would look pretty similar to the Pixel 9a<\/a>, thanks to renders shared by Android Headlines<\/a>, and now we have strong reason to suspect it will be identical on the inside as well as the outside. <\/p>\n

The Pixel 10a looks to be identical to the Pixel 9a<\/p>\n

We’re a little disappointed, not gonna lie<\/p>\n

It was already suspected that Google’s newest Pixel would share a lot of DNA with its predecessor, but we have to admit we’re still a little disappointed. At least on paper, everything is the same, from the 6.3″ screen to the 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage. The only major spec not mentioned in the listing is the chipset, but GSMArena previously reported<\/a> that the Pixel 10a is expected to use the Tensor G4 \u2014 just like the Pixel 9a.<\/p>\n

How the Pixel 10a compares to the 10 and 10 Pro<\/p>\n

Here’s how the leaked Pixel 10a stacks up against the Pixel 10<\/a> and Pixel 10 Pro. <\/p>\n

On paper, the obvious differences are in the chips, cameras, and memory. However, there are other small differences \u2014 for example, the A-series pixels tend to have lower peak display brightness, weaker haptics, and slower charging. On the flip side, they do tend to have larger batteries, as we can see in the table above.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, we think most people are unlikely to notice the lower specs of the A-series model unless they’re doing a side-by-side comparison. Google’s A-series phones are popular for a reason: they make for an excellent daily experience for a lot less money. The upgrade to the higher-end models is most worth it for the better cameras, but even the A-series Pixels are known for their outstanding cameras<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Why buy the Pixel 10a?<\/p>\n

It will be interesting to see how Google positions this next iteration of its popular budget phone. Although it’s not uncommon these days for manufacturers to focus on iterative upgrades, there’s usually at least something different, however small, to justify the version bump. It’s extremely rare to have a product with a new name and literally no changes, either inside or outside.<\/p>\n

Maybe Google will surprise us with new colors? We’ll find out soon enough \u2014 Google usually launches its A-series phones in the spring.<\/p>\n

The Pixel 10 Pro is Google’s highest-end flagship smartphone, with an improved triple-camera system, the Tensor G5 chip, and seven years of software updates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We have new info on the upcoming Google Pixel 10a smartphone, courtesy of Evan Blass.
