The Google Pixel 10a is scheduled for global release on March 5th, which means you have a little under three weeks to take advantage of the preorder deals above before the cheap Android phone officially hits store shelves. Just like its predecessor, the Google Pixel 10a starts at $499 for the 128GB storage configuration, while the 256GB version of the phone will set you back $599. Just like past A-Series smartphones, the Google Pixel 10a boasts many of the same features as the mainline flagship series at a much lower cost.

The notable exception to this is that, instead of the Tensor G5 chipset found in the Google Pixel 10 lineup, the Pixel 10a is powered by the last-gen Tensor G4 processor. Despite this somewhat odd choice, the Pixel 10a still sports the same camera tech as its more-expensive siblings, plus an upgraded battery, a gorgeous pOLED display, and 8GB of RAM straight out of the box. You also get seven years of guaranteed OS updates, wireless charging support, and IP68 durability.

Broadly speaking, the Pixel 10a falls pretty firmly between the Pixel 10 and Pixel 9 in the specs department, while visually it looks almost identical to last year's Google Pixel 9a. To be sure, Google is playing it pretty safe with the Pixel 10a, but if you don't mind a somewhat iterative upgrade, the bang for the buck here is pretty amazing.
