Google has unveiled the entry-level Pixel 10a, with very little upgrades over its predecessor. The new Pixel 10a looks the same as before and also uses almost the same exact hardware. This new model is the first in the a-series to use recycled materials, has 100% recycled aluminum frame, and comes in an entirely plastic-free packaging. It also gains emergency satellite messaging, will ship with the latest Android 16 software, has a tougher Corning Gorilla Glass 7i, and has a slightly brighter 3,000-nit display. Google also redesigned the internals so it’s easier to repair. Plus, it now has a faster 30W charger. Other than that, everything else is the same. We still have a Tensor G4 processor, same RAM and storage options, 5,100mAh battery, and cameras. The Google Pixel 10a 8GB/128GB retails for USD499 (~Php29,000) and USD599 (~Php34,800) for the 8GB/256GB in the US.
