Software updates 7 years Ranked in What the reviewers said Tech Advisor 4/5 Mar 27, 2026 A perfectly good mid-range phone, but it is nearly identical to the 9a, so the 9a is better value. Likely not worth buying over the 9a or Pixel 10.
Great software with long support Excellent, bright OLED screen with 120Hz Attractive design with flat back, no camera bump Good main camera and easy camera app Wired charging bumped to 30W Largely incremental upgrade over Pixel 9a Misses Qi2 magnetic charging Still uses older Tensor G4 processor Battery capacity unchanged at 5100mAh Wireless charging only 10W Read the full review at Tech Advisor → The Verge 7/10 Mar 13, 2026 Pixel 10A is nearly identical to the Pixel 9A with minor tweaks; the 9A is the better buy at $50 less.
