Google's latest Pixel 10a boasts a significant design evolution, featuring a rear camera module that is now completely flush with the device's back panel. This seamless, pill-shaped cutout replaces the previously raised camera bar, offering a sleek aesthetic.
The phone retains the simple, recycled aluminum frame and flat panels characteristic of its predecessor, the Pixel 9a, ensuring a compact and user-friendly form factor. Durability is enhanced with the upgrade from Gorilla Glass 3 to Gorilla Glass 7i on the front, providing better resistance to breaks and scratches. The matte plastic composite rear panel further improves grip and resilience.
Measuring 6.1 by 2.9 by 0.4 inches and weighing 6.5 ounces, the Pixel 10a is comparable in size to other compact phones. It continues to offer an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance, matching many competitors. The device includes a USB-C port and supports dual SIM functionality with one physical SIM and one eSIM, while omitting a headphone jack and microSD card slot. It is available in Berry, Fog, Lavender, or Obsidian colorways.
