The Google Pixel 10a is the best phone you can buy for $500

When Google announced the Pixel 10a last month, many people’s first reaction, including mine, was that it was essentially a carbon copy of the Pixel 9a, with a few minor changes. After using the phone for the past couple of weeks, I can confirm that’s definitely the case, but also, it’s not a reason to write off the Pixel 10a entirely. Despite its similarities to the Pixel 9a, I’ve come to really appreciate what the Pixel 10a offers, especially for people with older A-series phones.
