In the new generation of its mid-range smartphones, the Pixel 10a, Google has completely recessed the cameras into the casing.
The Pixel 10a is Google's latest smartphone for the mid-range price segment. It only differs from its predecessor, the Google Pixel 9a, in the details. From the outside, it is immediately noticeable that the typical camera hump is missing: Google has completely integrated the cameras on the back into the casing, so that the device lies on its back without any wobbling.
The Google Pixel 10a is available in four colours and with either 128 or 256 gigabytes of main memory. Both variants come with eight gigabytes of RAM.
My colleague Michelle tested the smartphone and compared it with both the predecessor Pixel 9a and Google's current flagship Pixel 10.
Almost the same hardware, but significantly better battery life
The key hardware figures are almost identical to those of the predecessor model. The OLED display measures 6.3 inches and has a resolution of 1080 × 2424 pixels. HDR content achieves a brightness of up to 2000 nits and even 3000 nits is possible at the peak. The screen is therefore slightly brighter than that of its predecessor. The camera equipment corresponds to that of the Pixel 9a and includes a wide-angle camera (f/1.7) with 48 megapixels and an ultra-wide-angle camera (f/2.2) with 13 megapixels. The Pixel 10a does not have a telephoto camera. The selfie camera also has a resolution of 13 megapixels (f/2.2).
Under the bonnet is the Google Tensor G4 processor. This is the same chip as in the Pixel 9a, but according to benchmarks it is slightly faster. The battery capacity is also unchanged at 5100 mAh, but it can be charged faster at 45 watts or wirelessly at ten watts. The battery life has also improved. Michelle achieves 22 hours with the Pixel 10a, while the Pixel 9a runs for just under 17 hours. The power adapter is not included in the scope of delivery. You can order a suitable 67-watt charger with two USB-C ports here.
The smartphone is still IP68 water and dust resistant and weighs 183 grammes. It connects wirelessly via Wi-Fi 6e and, unlike the Pixel 9a, with Bluetooth 6 instead of 5.3. Android 16 is installed and Google guarantees updates for seven years.
Suitable cases for the Google Pixel 10a
If you want to protect your smartphone from bumps and scratches on the back, you could use Google's official case for the Google Pixel 10a. It is made of a silicone-polycarbonate mix and is available in the same colours as the smartphone itself.
