Google’s Pixel 10a keeps the same camera smarts as the flagship Pixel 10, and Giffgaff has just made getting one considerably cheaper.
The Google Pixel 10a has dropped to £250 at Giffgaff, down from its usual £519, a straight £269 off that works out at roughly 52%, and anyone who buys now also gets a free pair of Pixel Buds 2a thrown in.
The Google Pixel 10a has dropped to 50% off, and Giffgaff is sweetening the deal with free earbuds
With a 48MP camera for flagship-style photos and free Pixel Buds 2a thrown in, the Google Pixel 10a is down to £250 at Giffgaff.
That bundle matters because the Pixel 10a‘s 48MP main camera is the reason most people will want one, delivering sharp, naturally coloured shots and some of the best skin tones on any phone in its price bracket.
Beyond the hardware, the Pixel 10a also inherits Google’s flagship AI toolkit, including Magic Editor and Best Take for fixing group photos, tools that make the phone feel closer to the full-price Pixel 10 than its £250 price tag would suggest.
It also carries a 5100mAh battery that easily stretches across a full day of messaging, scrolling and photos, and Google’s faster 30W wired charging means a flat phone can get back to half charge in around thirty minutes when time is tight.
The trade-off is a Tensor G4 chipset carried over from last year’s Pixel 9a rather than a newer processor, so it is not the phone to reach for if demanding 3D games are a priority, though everyday tasks and Google’s AI features run smoothly regardless.
It is built around a 6.3-inch pOLED screen with a genuinely flat rear panel, full IP68 water and dust resistance, and Gorilla Glass 7i on the front, making it a compact, one-handed phone that still feels durable enough for daily knocks.
Giffgaff is offering the Pixel 10a in its 128GB configuration at this price, and we awarded it four out of five stars, calling out its camera performance and battery life as genuine flagship-rivalling strengths, even for a phone that changes so little from last year’s model.
At £250 rather than £519, the Pixel 10a becomes an easy recommendation for anyone who wants flagship-style photos and long battery life without paying flagship prices, and the free Pixel Buds 2a make the saving even harder to pass up right now.
