Google has launched the Pixel 10a as its annual mid-range contender for the crown of the best phone under $500 — a title that’s becoming harder to earn every year. As always, Google’s A series phone has a very straightforward pitch: bring flagship Pixel intelligence and camera prowess to a price point that doesn’t feel flagship at all. But in 2026, when rivals are pushing bigger batteries, faster charging, and more ambitious camera hardware at similar prices, can Google’s A series still dominate by sticking to a tried and tested winning formula? Or does it risk falling behind? I went hands-on with the device at Google’s office in Taipei, Taiwan, to get an early sense of how this year’s mid-range Pixel stacks up.
What’s new in the Pixel 10a?
