Google's $500 Pixel 10a smartphone arrives on March 5

Google launched the Pixel 10a smartphone with pre-orders starting now and availability beginning March 5 for $499, the same price as last year's model. While the design, 6.3-inch display, Tensor G4 chip, and camera specs remain unchanged from the Pixel 9a, the 10a features significantly improved battery life exceeding 30 hours and faster charging capabilities that reach 50% in 30 minutes.
