Last chance! Google Pixel 10a preorders end soon — here’s how to get the device for cheap

Interested in picking up the new Google Pixel 10a? Take note that preorders for this mid-range flagship are set to end on March 5th, so you don’t have long if you want to score one of the opening deals.

I’ve rounded up the best Pixel 10a preorder deals just down below, including both carrier and unlocked retailers. Take note, some of these may be expiring within the next few days.

As an overview, several of the major carriers are offering the device for free without a trade-in right now, while both Best Buy and Amazon are throwing in a handy $100 gift card on the house. Meanwhile, Google’s own promotion offers up to $450 off with a trade-in and additional rebates on the Google Fi prepaid network.

Generally speaking, the initial preorders window tends to have the strongest promotions on any phone for a few months, so it’s usually worth jumping on the bandwagon early. Price cuts are almost inevitable, but it sometimes takes a few months before we see really great options at Amazon and other retailers.

The best Google Pixel 10a deals this week

What’s new with the Google Pixel 10a?

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

At a glance, the standout feature is the phone’s strikingly slim design, which skips the prominent rear camera bump we’ve come to expect from most modern smartphones. Instead, the back panel sits completely flat, with the 48MP main camera neatly built into a subtle, integrated housing for a cleaner overall look.

Under the hood, the Pixel 10a doesn’t get the newer Tensor G5 chip found in the flagship Pixel 10, sticking instead with the previous-generation G4 processor. That means solid mid-range performance rather than cutting-edge speeds, though you’ll still have access to the latest Gemini Live features. The 1080 x 2424 display is another highlight, offering sharp visuals and an adaptive refresh rate designed to help conserve battery life.

Stay tuned for our full review in the next few days. In the meantime, check out our hands-on experience with the device, which includes plenty more in-depth information.
