Is the Pixel 10a worth saving $200? I compared it with the Pixel 10, and the missing features make the decision easy.

Smartphones don't change dramatically year after year, and that's never been truer than with the Pixel 10a. Breaking tradition with its prior A-series phones, Google's new midrange handset is nearly identical to last year's Pixel 9a—even sharing the same Tensor G4 chipset in the older phone instead of using the Tensor G5 that debuted in last fall's Pixel 10.

After months of early leaks and rumors, Google has finally shown off its latest Pixel 10a, and if you pre-order one now, you can get your hands on the device by Thursday, March 5th. That's just a little over two weeks from today.

Google didn’t bring many Pixel 10 features down to the Pixel 10A this year. Buy the berry color. Google’s midrange Pixels have been our top pick for budget Android phones for a while. They offer good cameras and most of what you need at a budget-friendly price.
