US EditionMy Pixel 10A Hands-On: Google Adds Fast Charging, Satellite SOS for $499
The Pixel 10A offers satellite SOS and faster wired and wireless charging, starting at $499, while using the Tensor G4 chip and omitting PixelSnap magnets to maintain value.
- On Wednesday, Google unveiled the Pixel 10A priced at $499 for a 128GB model, matching last year's entry price.
- Google chose to reuse the Tensor G4 processor and omitted PixelSnap magnets as a price trade-off, the company said, to keep the Pixel 10A affordable this year.
- The 10A keeps a 5,100-mAh battery and adds Camera Coach and Auto Best Take, while wired charging jumped to 30W and wireless to 10W for faster power-ups.
- Preorders open today for the Pixel 10A, which brings Satellite SOS and seven years of OS and security updates to budget buyers and goes on sale March 4.
- This timing places the Pixel 10A into a crowded early-March release window, with the Galaxy S26 and Mobile World Congress expected to feature new phones, and Apple’s March 4 event may introduce a lower-cost iPhone against the midrange market.

But this year's upgrade feels so minimal, I'd liken it more to a Pixel 9A+. Or a Pixel 9B. The $499 Pixel 10A is supposed to be a slightly worse Pixel 10.
