Our Pixel A-series phones always offer our most helpful features at an accessible price point. And with the new Pixel 10a, we’re making many of our advanced AI tools and best-in-class camera system available for just $499.
Smooth by design
Pixel 10a’s refined smooth design features a completely flat back. The camera bar blends seamlessly with the back of the phone, so it easily slips in and out of your pocket, and lies perfectly flat wherever you place it.
Designed with sustainability in mind, Pixel 10a is made with the most recycled material of any A-series Pixel yet, including for the first time recycled cobalt, copper, gold and tungsten. 1 It has a satin-finish 100% recycled aluminium frame and an 81% recycled plastic back cover. 2
Pixel 10a debuts a reimagined color story, blending a sophisticated palette with a bold new energy for the season. It comes in Lavender, Berry, Fog and Obsidian.
Built to last, and with even more battery life
Pixel 10a is our most durable A-series phone yet thanks to IP68 water and dust protection and durable materials. 3 With an upgraded Corning® Gorilla® Glass 7i cover glass on the display it’s exceptionally designed to deliver improved durability for better scratch and drop resistance. 4 The 6.3-inch Actua display is also 11% brighter than Pixel 9a, so your photos and videos look vibrant even in direct sunlight.
It also has faster charging than Pixel 9a, with more than 30 hours of battery life and up to 120 with Extreme Battery Saver turned on. 5 Plus, Pixel 10a will come with seven years of OS, security and Pixel Drops. 6 And for added peace of mind, we’re bringing Satellite SOS to the A-series for the first time, so you can connect with emergency services even when you’re without Wi-Fi or cellular service. 7
A camera for extraordinary photos every day
Pixel 10a has the best camera under $500 with a 48MP main camera and a 13MP ultrawide camera. In fact, our A-series phones have had the best-in-class camera five generations in a row. 8 Capture crisp details up close with Macro Focus and in low light with Night Sight.
It also features some of our most popular photo tools, available to the A-series for the first time:
- Auto Best Take helps make sure everyone in a group photo looks their best with a single shutter press. Pixel automatically analyzes multiple frames to find the perfect shot.
- Camera Coach uses Gemini models to give you step-by-step guidance on lighting and composition, helping you take better pictures and become a better photographer. 9
Plus, you can use Google Photos to edit just by asking with the help of AI, either by typing in the changes you want or speaking them directly to your phone. 10 And now Add Me can support small and large group pics — so squeeze your cousins, aunts, uncles and great-grandparents (and even your dog) into the family reunion pic, then add yourself to it!
And when you're ready to share your photos and important moments, the kind of device you have doesn't matter now that Quick Share works with AirDrop®. 11
Powered by Google Tensor, with AI features and Gemini
Pixel 10a is powered by our custom-built Google Tensor G4 chip, giving you total access to Gemini — your personal AI assistant. You can do things like use Gemini Live to have natural, back-and-forth conversations. 12 Or play with Nano Banana to reimagine your photos, blend images together or apply different creative styles to make them your own. 13
