If you’ve been holding out upgrading your phone, waiting for the right opportunity to make that swap while the prices come down, now might be the time. If you’re a fan of Android or looking to make the jump over from Apple’s ecosystem, you should steer your eyes toward the Google Pixel 10a. This affordable smartphone from Google just became even less expensive. The Pixel 10a only dropped earlier this year, but it’s already seeing some hefty discounts. Amazon currently has it going for $75 off.
The Google Pixel 10a comes in two different models. You can choose between either the 128GB version or the 256GB version, both of which are on sale. The 128GB model is 15% off, bringing the price from $499 to just $424, while the 256GB model has come down 13% from $599 to just $524.
The sale covers all color options for both storage sizes of the smartphone. You can choose between obsidian, fog, lavender, or berry and still save that $75.
Camera Enhancements
Surprising no one, Google like every other tech company is putting a lot of energy into building up its arsenal of AI features and that’s a big part of the marketing for the Pixel 10a.
These enhancements primarily present themselves when looking at the camera functionality. Among the new features is something call Camera Coach. This will popup on screen when you have the camera pointed at someone or something before you’ve taken the shot. The intension is to provide you with tips and instructions on how to better frame the shot. It might recommend taking a few steps back, or to tilt the camera angle up or down slightly. This can prove useful for those instances when you hand your phone off to a stranger to take a picture of you or your group, only to have your phone handed back for you to see the worst photo ever taken in your life. Just tell them next time to follow along with the onscreen tips.
The phone is built to be durable with a scratch-resistant Corning Gorilla Glass 7i display and an IP68 rating for water and dust protection. It’s also got a pretty decent battery life that’ll last you up to 30 hours on a single charge.
This listing for the Google Pixel 10a is for an unlocked model which means you’ll have total flexibility which carrier you use. You can continue on with whichever service you are currently using or jump ship to something else. It’ll support Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, Mint, and many more.
