The Pixel 10a is set to launch in 2026 as the most affordable option in the Pixel 10 series. Google is currently debating whether to use the Tensor G5 or stick with the older Tensor G4 chipset for this model.
Vero’s thoughts on the news:
The decision Google faces regarding the chipset for the Pixel 10a is crucial. Opting for the Tensor G5 could enhance the device’s long-term performance and software support, making it a better value for consumers even at a higher initial cost. However, using the Tensor G4 could keep the price attractive but might limit the device’s capability to handle future software updates and demanding applications. Balancing cost with performance will be key for Google to maintain the competitive edge in the budget smartphone market.
