The Pixel 9a was proof of how much we love Google’s A-series phones. They’ve perfected the value proposition by offering the best of performance and camera features we expect from premium Google phones in a package that costs under $500. With this year’s Pixel 10a, my expectations were high because, year after year, Google has either met them or surpassed them.
However, the Pixel 10a has turned out to be a mixed bag. It makes some choices I’m not particularly a fan of, and it’s not exactly a tempting package for anyone coming from the Pixel 8a.
