Google Pixel 10a – Setting a New Benchmark With its AI Features

—

Google Pixel 10a sets a new benchmark for mid-range smartphones. Here’s everything you need to know about the device and how you can easily afford it through Bajaj Finserv Easy EMIs.

Google recently added the Pixel 10a to its mid-range smartphone portfolio, unveiling it in India in mid-February 2026. Although A-series phones are regarded as ‘Lite’ versions of Google’s flagships, the Google Pixel 10a comes with impressive features. A few examples of its high-end hardware include the powerful Google Tensor G4 chip, an ultra-bright 6.3-inch Actua display, and an advanced camera system that clicks studio-grade images.

While the Pixel 10a is the most affordable phone from the Google Pixel 10 series, you can make the purchase even more affordable by shopping from Bajaj Finserv partner stores. With Easy EMI plans, you can make payments in instalments, with repayment windows ranging from 3 to 60 months. Visit any of the 1.5 lakh+ partner stores to shop for the Google Pixel 10a and enjoy benefits like instant approvals and zero down payment offers on select models.

Google Pixel 10a – Setting a new benchmark in the segment

At first glance, the Pixel 10a may seem identical to the Pixel 9a in terms of design. However, the company has made a few changes, such as removing the ‘bump’ and placing the camera system within the frame. This reduces the ‘wobble’ problem, as the phone can rest on a table without wobbling. The Corning Gorilla Glass 7i, along with an IP68 rating, protects the device from scratches, drops, and accidental spills.
