<p>We can usually rely on Google to put together a compelling package in its Pixel A-series devices. The <strong>Pixel 10A</strong> was kind of a letdown, though. It added only a handful of updates, like satellite messaging and updated Gorilla Glass on the screen — but it still costs $499, like the Pixel 9A. Kind of a bummer.</p>
<p>Enter Prime Day: The 10A is down to $399 at <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GHRHXVN1" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Amazon</a>, which feels much more fair. Getting essentially the 9A with the minor-est of iterative updates feels better when you’re paying $400 instead of $500. And staying consistent with the 9A, the 10A also offer seven years of OS updates. That’s a lot of years of not having to worry about buying another phone.</p>
<h3>Google Pixel 10A</h3>
Google’s new Pixel 10A introduces faster wired charging, Satellite SOS, and new AI tools like Camera Coach and Auto Best Take. Otherwise, it’s basically the Pixel 9A, with the same Tensor G4 chip and a dual-camera system. <a href="https://www.theverge.com/tech/880400/pixel-10a-hands-on-a-little-too-much-like-pixel-9a" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Read our hands-on impressions.</a>
