The Google Pixel 10a has just launched, and we've already been treated to a juicy trade-in deal at the official Google Store that can take up to £395 off the new budget phone.
You'll need to hand over an eligible device, but a quick search using the Google Store trade-in tool tells you exactly how much money you can get off the Pixel 10a. As an example, trading in an Apple iPhone 16e with 512GB of storage gets you the full £395 rebate, but many other devices can get you anywhere between £150 and £350 off.
The Pixel 10a is marketed as a budget-friendly smartphone for anyone wanting incredible photos, durability, and built-in AI. It's not up to the flagship level, given that Google has stripped out some higher-end features. However, considering that you can get the phone for as little as £104 after a trade-in, it's a smart buy if you don't mind the reduced feature set.

The Google Pixel 10a boasts a 6.3-inch Gorilla Glass 7i display with a 1080 x 2424 resolution. This can range from 60hz up to a smooth 120Hz. On the back, you'll find two lenses: a 48MP main camera and a 13MP ultra-wide. We've come to expect impressive photographic results from Pixel phones, and I'm sure the 10a will be no different.
The Pixel 10a is a budget phone, which means some premium features have been jettisoned. That means there's no MagSafe PixelSnap or Magic Cue. That said, there's a lot on offer here, including Gemini Live and Camera Coach. Google also hasn't compromised on the battery life, promising up to 30 hours of use from the 5,100mAh battery.
The Pixel 10a is the ideal phone for budget-conscious shoppers, but this deal won't be for everyone. If you'd prefer something more premium, then our guide to the best Android phone is a great place to start.
