With prices increasing on just about everything, it’s refreshing that Google kept its most affordable brand-new Pixel at the same price as before. Now that I’ve spent over a week with the Pixel 10a, I have a much better sense of what this best cheap phone contender actually offers.
In my Pixel 10a review, I noted that this device has the fewest hardware upgrades of any successive model I’ve tested in recent memory — like how it recycles the same Tensor G4 chip found in the previous Pixel 9a. But despite the lazy upgrade, the Pixel 10a continues to offer the best value of any phone on the market right now.
