Pixel 10a, which introduced Japan-only “Isai Blue”, Google’s strategy  to clearly emphasize the A series by keeping prices unchanged and selecting functions Toyo Keizai Online

Google’s latest smartphone, the Google Pixel 10a, will be released on April 14th. The A series with an “a” at the end is a “low-cost version” with low production costs, but in terms of functionality, there is little difference from the higher-end models, and it is popular as a model with excellent cost-effectiveness.

The main specification differences from the higher-end Pixel 10 are shown in the table below.

The price of the Pixel 10a on the Google Store is 79,900 yen for the 128GB model and 94,900 yen for the 256GB model. The Pixel 10 is 128,900 yen for 128GB and 143,900 yen for 256GB, so you can buy it 49,000 yen cheaper. In addition, Docomo, au, Softbank, and Rakuten Mobile are also available, and if you use each company’s device purchase support program, you can further reduce the actual purchase cost.

■The camera protrusion is gone, and it is fully flat!

The best feature of the Pixel 10a is that there is no protrusion in the camera area, and the back is completely flat. The protrusion of the A series has been modest in the past, but finally the slightest protrusion is gone. It is comfortable to trace with your fingers, and it also has the advantage that it does not rattle when placed on a tabletop.

In higher-end models with a large protrusion of the camera area, attaching a smartphone case can eliminate the protrusion, but the Pixel 10a seems to be comfortable to use without a case.

▲Pixel 10a also comes with a genuine smartphone case (4900 yen), but it can be used comfortably without a case.

The camera is a wide-angle + ultra-wide-angle two-lens. However, by zooming in the sensor of a wide-angle camera, it is possible to shoot with image quality equivalent to optical zoom twice. In addition, you can shoot up to 8x with super-resolution zoom. The image quality is bright and natural colors, and it seems to be satisfactory enough for everyday use.

▲ Shooting at ultra-wide angle (0.5x)

▲Shooting at a wide angle (1x)

▲ Shot at a wide angle (2x). Since the 12 million pixel image in the center captured by the 48 million pixel sensor is cropped, it is recorded with image quality equivalent to 2x optical zoom

▲ Super resolution zoom combined with digital zoom is up to 8x. The image quality is slightly grainy

“Camera Coach” compatible with Pixel 10 is also available. It is a function that displays a shooting guide and guides you to take better photos, so even if you are not confident in shooting or have some confidence, you are guaranteed to have new insights when you use it.

In addition, if you take a group photo with multiple people, you can also use “Auto Best Take”, which allows AI to synthesize everyone’s best facial expressions.
