Overview

  • Google’s $499 Pixel 10a is available to pre-order now with deliveries slated for early March.
  • The phone largely mirrors the Pixel 9a with Tensor G4, a 6.3-inch OLED, 48MP+13MP cameras, and a 5,100mAh battery, adding Gorilla Glass 7i, a brighter 3,000-nit screen, and faster 30W wired/10W wireless charging.
  • Satellite SOS arrives with region limits, Pixelsnap magnet support is absent, and some Pixel 10 AI tools such as Magic Cue and Pixel Screenshots are not supported on the G4 chip.
  • Preorder incentives vary by market, including $100 in store credit or bundled Pixel Buds 2a offers reported by retailers.
  • Post-announcement discounts have pushed the Pixel 9a to roughly ₹39,999 in India (lower with bank offers) and about €370 in Europe, while deals coverage points buyers to rivals like Samsung’s Galaxy S25 FE and OnePlus/Poco models for stronger hardware at similar prices.
