What's new about the Pixel 10A?
Rather than being a big revamp, the Pixel 10A is more of an iterative improvement over the previous Pixel 9A -- but still offers some enticing upgrades. Aesthetically, a flat camera bump makes for a smooth look. But it's what happens on the inside that counts, and the Pixel 10A is set to use a "boosted" edition of the Tensor G4 processor rather than the Tensor G5 seen in the rest of the Pixel 10 line. A 6.3-inch display will be joined by a 13-megapixel selfie camera. That flat camera bump is set to play host to a 48-megapixel main camera and a 13-megapixel ultrawide camera.
How much does the Pixel 10A cost?
Prices differ depending on the amount of storage you buy, but the Pixel 10A starts at $499 for the 128GB option. A 256GB version is also offered for buyers who need a little more breathing room, starting at $599.
What colors does the Pixel 10A come in?
The Pixel 10A comes in four colors.
- Obsidian
- Berry
- Fog
- Lavender

How do Pixel 10A trade-in offers work?
Both Google and carriers often offer trade-in savings, giving existing phone owners a great way to pick up the latest phone at a discounted price. Some of the best trade-in offers can even make the new phone free.
Not a fan of contracts? Some retailers also offer trade-in programs, which could offer gift cards toward future purchases instead. This can be a great way to take advantage of savings without necessarily being locked into a contract. Retail offers may not provide as much of a deal as traditional trade-in offers from carriers, though, so keep that in mind as you shop and more offers come online.
