The design of the Google Pixel 10a remains almost identical to that of its predecessor, with a noteworthy change: the camera module is now flush with the chassis. This offers a smoother profile, appealing to users who prefer a sturdy and wobble-free device.
While the visual elements such as colors remain the same, there are two notable upgrades: maximum brightness has been enhanced to 2,000 nits from 1,800 nits in the Pixel 9a, and protective glass has shifted from Gorilla Glass 3 to Gorilla Glass 7i, promising improved durability.
- Maximum brightness increased to 2,000 nits.
- Protected by Gorilla Glass 7i for better resistance against scratches.
