The new Google Pixel 10a is already $50 off

Google released its budget A-series version of the Pixel 10 last month, and although the 10a isn’t drastically divided from the previous 9a, it does offer some software updates that may make it useful for some people. And if you are, you can get this budget phone at a huge discount right now. There’s an unlocked 128GB Google 10a on Amazon $449 (Originally $499), and all four colors are on sale.

As you can read in Lifehacker’s review, the Pixel 10a has identical specifications to the Pixel 9. It has a Tensor G4 processor, 8GB of RAM, and up to 256GB of storage, as well as the same camera system, consisting of a 48MP main lens, a 13MP ultrawide lens, and a 13MP selfie camera. Battery life is also the same 30+ hours, and the MagSafe-like PixelSnap feature is gone. The main upgrades here are a brighter 3,000 nits screen, thinner bezels, and an improved Corning Gorilla Glass 7i cover glass.

But 10a’s real value may be in software and AI. It includes two AI camera features that debuted with the Pixel 10. One is Auto Best Take, which takes 150 frames in one click, chooses the best photo, and automatically removes the rest (or stitches together elements from multiple shots to create a new “best” image). And Camera Coach, which guides you with AI to take the best photo. Google also brought Satellite SOS to an A-series phone for the first time. This lets you connect to satellite and ping emergency services for help if you have no cell signal. It also has a range of settings and features that you can turn on to improve your experience.

If you’re thinking about upgrading from the Pixel 9a or later, there’s not much here to make it worth it. However, if you have anything older than the Pixel 9 or are switching to a Pixel for the first time, this is a great opportunity to do so at a good discount.
