I’m in love with my Pixel 9a. I switched over to Google’s mid-ranger after using flagship phones for more than a decade, and I regret nothing. The phone has plenty of power, offers a brilliant software experience with seven years of updates, and is very affordable at its launch price of $500.
However, there is one thing that bothers me about it. One thing I’d like Google to change with the Pixel 10a, and it’s not what you think. I don’t care for a larger display, the fancy camera setup from the Pixel 10 Pro, or anything else that will drastically increase the price. What I want is to get the feeling of a premium phone back, which I lost when I switched to the Pixel 9a.
