Introduction<\/p>\n

The alphabet game is afoot! Pixel 10a and iPhone 17e launched side by side, putting a fresh spin on the affordable Pixel and the economy-class iPhone. Today, we will explore the new iteration of Google’s A series, the Pixel 10a.<\/p>\n

The Pixel 10a comes in fresh colors, an improved design with a newer Gorilla Glass 7i protection and a flat camera setup on the back. Though oddly, that’s about it in terms of upgrades. <\/p>\n

The Pixel 10a seems like a rereleased Pixel 9a. It packs the same 6.3-inch P-OLED screen with 1080p resolution and 120Hz refresh rate, the same Google Tensor G4 chip with 8GB of RAM, and even the same 5,100mAh battery.<\/p>\n

The cameras are identical, too. There is a 48MP primary on the back, together with a 13MP ultrawide camera. The selfie camera is another 13MP ultrawide shooter.<\/p>\n

Okay, at least the connectivity specs have been improved – there is now support for Bluetooth 6.0, Satellite SOS, and faster wired and wireless charging. And the phone ships with the latest Android 16, naturally.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, the Pixel 10a still comes through as a solid phone with a higher-than-usual price tag, which might make sense to people with older Pixel models. Plus, we can immediately tell it’s already better than the iPhone 17e by having a second camera and a high-refresh-rate display. But we digress.<\/p>\n

With a device released a whole year later, we would have liked to see at least a chipset update here or a lower launch price tag, but we get none of that. So let’s have a look at what the Pixel 10a has to offer beyond what the spec sheet reads <\/p>\n

Unboxing the Pixel 10a<\/p>\n

The new Pixel ships inside an incredibly thin paper box with a matching color to the phone (Lavender in our case). It contains the phone and a USB-C cable.<\/p>\n

There is a SIM ejection tool inside, if it’s important for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Introduction The alphabet game is afoot!
