Google’s newest budget-friendly phone has officially entered the preorder stage. The Pixel 10a is now available for preorder on Amazon, starting at $499 for the 128GB model. As part of the launch promotion, eligible buyers can also receive an Amazon gift card for a limited time.
The preorder offer runs from February 18 through March 11 at 11:59 p.m. PT, while supplies last. While the Pixel 10A officially launches on March 5, early buyers can lock in their order now. As with most bundled gift card deals, returning the phone without the gift card may result in an adjustment, and terms apply.
A Familiar Pixel Experience at a Lower Price
The Pixel 10a continues Google’s approach of bringing flagship-style features to a more affordable price point. It keeps the clean Pixel design language, including a flatter camera bump on the back for a smoother look in hand.
Up front, the phone features a 6.3-inch display, offering a comfortable size for streaming, browsing, and everyday use. Google also includes a 13-megapixel selfie camera, while the rear camera system is led by a 48-megapixel main lens paired with a 13-megapixel ultrawide camera.
Powered by Google’s Tensor Chip and Built for Everyday Use
Under the hood, the Pixel 10a runs on a boosted edition of Google’s Tensor G4 processor. While it’s not the same chip found in higher-end Pixel models, it’s designed to handle daily tasks smoothly, from app switching to photography and AI features.
Google says the Pixel 10a delivers more than 30 hours of battery life on a full charge, positioning it as a reliable option for all-day use. The phone also supports Google’s latest AI tools, including Gemini, which helps with tasks like writing, organizing, and searching directly from the device.
Pixel 10a Storage, Colors, and Carrier Flexibility
The Pixel 10A starts at $499 for 128GB of storage, with a 256GB option available for $599. Buyers can choose from four colors: Obsidian, Berry, Fog, and Lavender.
As an unlocked Android phone, the Pixel 10A works with major U.S. carriers, including Google Fi, Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T. That gives you the flexibility to switch networks or choose a prepaid plan if preferred.
Preorder Details
The Pixel 10a is now available for preorder on Amazon, with the promotional gift card offer running through March 11, subject to availability. For Android users who want the Pixel experience without stepping into flagship pricing, this phone aims to strike a balance between affordability, AI features, and everyday performance. However, note that returns that do not include the gift card may be adjusted to reflect the value of the promotion, and memberships or other promotions cannot be combined.
