Been thinking about springing for the new Google Pixel 10a? The brand’s new mid-range flagship is now available to preorder at both the official Google Store and major networks this week — and there are some fantastic deals to consider.

First up, Google itself is offering a £100 bonus on top of the usual trade-in rebates, meaning a discount of up to £395 on the device. Considering the Pixel 10a comes in at a relatively affordable £499 upfront, you’re potentially getting an unlocked device for just over £100 with the maximum rebate.

Those trade-in rebates are mirrored at the major networks this week, too. Three, Vodafone, and EE all have trade discounts ranging from £120 to £300 right now. The main promotions at these carriers, however, are the further discounts you can get on the attached plans, which reach up to £20 off per month.

Today’s best Google Pixel 10a deals

  • Carphone Warehouse: extra £100 off when you trade-in
  • Currys: extra £100 off with trade, plus case discounts
  • O2: extra £100 off with trade
  • Sky Mobile: extra £100 off with trade, plus 50GB plan for £12/mo

What’s new with the Google Pixel 10a?

  • Debuting at $499 unlocked
  • New slim-line flat design
  • Faster charging and better battery life

You can check out our hands-on preview if you’re interested in seeing what the Google Pixel 10a is all about. That includes our initial impressions and detailed analysis.

As an overview, the Pixel 10a’s main selling point is definitely its slimline design without the usual camera hump. Unlike nearly every other modern device, the 48MP rear camera sits flush with the rest of the body, giving the device a nice minimalist look.

Even though Google has taken a new direction with the Pixel 10a’s design, internally, the device still retains the Tensor G4 chipset from the previous generation. If you don’t need power on tap, however, then the G4 is still serviceable enough, with support for all the most useful Gemini features. You’ll also benefit from a surprisingly large battery and Google’s typically strong (and easy-to-use) camera tech.
