Google Pixel 10a
The well-rounded mid-ranger
The design of the rumored Google Pixel 10a feels uninspired compared to the Motorola Edge 2025, but Google may be getting everything else right. The phone should have a better chipset with sharper optimizations, less bloatware, and a much longer software update promise.
Pros
- "Boosted" Google Tensor G4 chip onboard
- Rumor suggests Google could slim down the camera bump
- We could see a brighter display and Qi2 magnets
Cons
- Limited improvements compared to the Pixel 9a and earlier
- Only two rear cameras
- Slow wired and wireless charging speeds
Motorola Edge 2025
The stylish mid-ranger
The Motorola Edge 2025 is a midrange phone that looks like a flagship one, complete with a thin design, an anti-slip vegan leather back, and a triple-camera rear system. Under the hood, though, the specs reflect this phone's price point. The phone has a slow MediaTek processor and slow RAM to match, with minimal planned upgrades and a ton of bloat.
Pros
- Triple-camera setup highlighted by 50MP main sensor
- IP68 protection for extreme durability
- Fast 68W wired charging
Cons
- Slow processor and RAM
- Only two Android OS upgrades promised
- Sluggish performance and Motorola bloatware onboard
