features, price and technical sheet

Google just launched the Google Pixel 10aits new mid-range terminal. He Google Pixel 9a It worked amazingly last year, being one of the most recommended mid-range for those looking for a good photography experience. This year’s model seeks to stay on that same path, offering a similar design, although not the same, and a clear commitment to computational photography.

The terminal will be available starting at 549 euros, the same price as last year. And it makes sense, since the improvements in the technical sheet, in the pure and simple components, are scarce. There are some specific new features that we will detail below, but the new features come in the software, an aspect that Google has more than mastered.

Google Pixel 10a technical sheet

When something works…

The Google Pixel 10a is practically identical to the previous model. At first glance it is the same, but there is a subtle difference: the camera module no longer protrudes. Not that I did it much before, but now the lenses are completely integrated into the chassis. The back is completely smooth, something that those who hate the phone to wobble will appreciate.

And really, that is the most striking change in terms of design, beyond the colors. Otherwise, the phone is identical to the previous model. Same finish, same screen size, practically the same. Now, there are two key differences: the brightness and the protection of the glass:

• He maximum brightness It is 2,000 nits compared to the 1,800 nits of the Pixel 9a. The peak brightness, for its part, increases by 300 nits, going from 2,700 to 3,000 nits.
• The protective glass on the panel changes from Gorilla Glass 3 to Gorilla Glass 7i. According to Google, it has better resistance to abrasions and shocks.

Another change is found in the battery or, rather, in the power of fast charging. The device continues to mount a 5,100 mAh batterybut fast charging goes from 30 to 45W as long as we use a compatible charger. And that’s all in terms of hardware, because the remaining technical sheet is identical to that of the last model.

The Pixel 10a mounts a pOLED panel 6.3 inches with FullHD+ resolution and 120 Hz refresh rate, as well as the same Google Tensor G4 processor as the Pixel 9a and the same amount of RAM and storage. It comes out, yes, with Android 16 and the promise of seven years of updates. Google has not detailed whether it is seven years of software or seven years in total (Android versions, Pixel Drops and security patches).

It incorporates everything expected in terms of connectivity, with the update to Bluetooth 6.0that the USB is now USB 3.2 and the Satellite SOS service (emergency calls via satellite). It is the first time that a Pixel a incorporates this function, until now exclusive to the Pixel 9 and 10.

As for the camera, the same batch of sensors as the last generation (48-megapixel wide-angle and 13-megapixel wide-angle) and lots and lots of AI. New features include Auto Best Take and Camera Coach. The first helps everyone look good in the photo by analyzing the frames, while the second uses Gemini models to guide composition, lighting, etc.

AI plays a fundamental role in the Google experienceso we will also use it for digital zoom of up to eight times and editing. The latter is quite nice, and the Google Pixel 10a allows us to edit photos using voice. You just have to ask your mobile phone and Gemini will be in charge of making the appropriate changes.
