Google on Wednesday introduced<\/a> its latest entry-level Pixel smartphone. The $499 Pixel 10a launches with new AI software capabilities and minor hardware updates. The smartphone is available for preorder now with shipments starting March 5. \u00a0It comes in Lavender, Berry, Fog, and Obsidian.<\/p>\n The Pixel 10a features a completely flat back, which means the camera bar blends with the back of the phone and lies flat when you place it down on a surface.<\/p>\n Google notes that the smartphone\u2019s 6.3-inch Actua display is 11% brighter than the Pixel 9a. It also has faster charging than its predecessor, with more than 30 hours of battery life and up to 120 hours with the \u201cExtreme Battery Saver\u201d setting turned on.<\/p>\n The Pixel 10a comes with the same Tensor G4 chip that powered last year\u2019s Pixel 9a. It features a 48MP main camera, which Google says is the best camera on a phone under $500, along with a 13MP ultrawide camera.<\/p>\n After first debuting on the Pixel 10 series last summer, Google is bringing a set of AI-powered camera features to the A-series phone. The \u201cAuto Best Take\u201d feature captures multiple frames in one shutter press and automatically selects the best version so everyone looks good in a group photo, while the \u201cCamera Coach\u201d feature gives users step-by-step guidance on lighting and composition.<\/p>\n Additionally, Google is bringing\u00a0Satellite SOS<\/a>\u00a0to the A-series for the first time, allowing users to connect with emergency services even when they don\u2019t have Wi-Fi or cellular service.<\/p>\n As with recent Pixel phones, the Pixel 10a will come with seven years of software and security updates.<\/p>\n Techcrunch event<\/p>\n \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBoston, MA<\/span> It\u2019s worth noting that the Pixel 10a doesn\u2019t have the \u201cPixelSnap\u201d magnetic Qi charging feature on the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold.<\/p>\n The smartphone\u2019s arrival comes just ahead of Apple\u2019s upcoming new entry-level phone, the iPhone 17e<\/a>. The device is expected to cost $599, like last year\u2019s iPhone 16e.<\/p>\n Google also announced that it\u2019s launching\u00a0Pixel Buds 2a<\/a>\u00a0in two new colors, Berry and Fog, to go with the Pixel 10a.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
