"Also: The best Android phones to buy in 2026 The Pixel 10a takes the flatter design approach from last year's Pixel 9a even further while pulling down camera and AI tools that were previously limited to the Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro. It keeps the same $499 starting price, and will be available starting March 5. Let's take a look at some highlights of the new phone."
"The most immediately obvious change this year is the design, as Google has completely flattened the rear camera bar so that it blends into the back panel -- eliminating any protrusion. ZDNET Editor in Chief Kerry Wan attended a hands-on preview, and confirmed the camera bump protrudes even less than the 9a, which was already mostly flush. It is a subtle shift that looks even more deliberate and allows the phone to sit flush on flat surfaces."
Midrange smartphones now match many premium features, with good cameras, day-long batteries, and multi-year software updates. The Pixel 10a adopts an even flatter rear camera bar that sits flush on flat surfaces, reducing protrusion while raising questions about internal camera housing. The phone retains the Pixel 9a's 48MP main sensor and 13MP ultrawide but inherits camera and AI software tools from the Pixel 10 and 10 Pro. The device keeps a $499 starting price, will be available March 5, and adds a brighter screen, tougher build, long-term updates, and Satellite SOS.
