Google Pixel 10 and Pixel 9a have received significant price reductions in Europe as the Pixel 10a enters the market, while Xiaomi's Poco F8 Pro and Motorola Edge 70 also see discounts.
Google's Pixel 10a announcement has triggered price adjustments across its smartphone lineup, creating new options for European consumers. The Pixel 10 now starts at €600 for the 128GB model (down €200), while the Pixel 9a sees a more dramatic reduction to €370. These changes come as the Pixel 10a enters the market at €550 with similar core specifications to its predecessor.
The Pixel 10a maintains the Pixel 9a's foundation with a 6.3-inch 1080p+ display (now brighter with Gorilla Glass 7i), Tensor G4 chipset, and 48MP+13MP camera system. Notable upgrades include faster charging (30W wired, 10W wireless) and satellite SOS support in select regions. Purchasers also receive €100 Amazon credit applicable toward accessories like Pixel Buds 2a or Google's silicone case with 67W charger.
Comparisons reveal interesting alternatives: The discounted Pixel 10 offers superior specs including Tensor G5, telephoto camera, and more RAM for €600. Meanwhile, Xiaomi's Poco F8 Pro presents flagship-tier performance with Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, 100W charging, and triple-camera system featuring a dedicated telephoto lens, now available at €500 for the 12GB/512GB configuration.
Other notable deals include:
- Motorola Edge 70 (€600): Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset with triple 50MP cameras
- Redmi Note 15 Pro series: Dimensity 7400 Ultra or Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 options starting at €270
- Newly launched Motorola Moto G77 (€300) and G67 (€230) entry-level models
These price shifts create a complex mid-range landscape where consumers must weigh ecosystem preferences against hardware value. Google's Pixel 10a faces stiff competition from both discounted predecessors and feature-rich alternatives like the Poco F8 Pro, which outperforms it in several hardware categories despite similar pricing.
