Google Pixel 10a

A clean, simple phone with good photography that makes a friendly entry to Android for iPhone owners.

A largely recycled Pixel 9a with the same chip and memory, but the price stays low, battery life is strong and software support is long.

Not exciting, but strong value with a great camera, smart software and long support.

A dependable value phone that is compact, with a good camera, battery and long updates, a clear pick for Android users.

An excellent all-rounder, but so few upgrades over the 9a that the reviewer finds it hard to recommend on value.

A balanced, solid mid-range phone but nearly identical to the Pixel 9a, which is now much cheaper.

Remains one of the best budget options, with excellent value, all-day battery and good design and display.

The hardware upgrades are minimal, yet the phone still delivers strong value at an unchanged price with better battery, charging and useful new software like desktop mode.

A perfectly good phone but so incremental that the reviewer says you should almost certainly not buy it, since the 9a offers better value.
