We\u2019re always interested to see how an Android compares to an iPhone, and Google\u2019s newly announced Pixel 10a is no exception.<\/strong><\/p>\n

While it wouldn\u2019t be fair to compare the budget-friendly Pixel 10a to the iPhone 17 series, remember Apple has its own affordable iPhone with the 16e.\u00a0<\/p>\n

With this in mind, we\u2019ve compared the initial specs of the Pixel 10a to the four-star iPhone 16e and highlighted the key differences below. Keep reading to see which handset is likely to suit you best, and whether you think the Pixel 10a will join the iPhone 16e in our best mid-range smartphones guide.<\/p>\n

Price and Availability<\/h2>\n

At the time of writing, the Pixel 10a is currently available to pre-order and will launch from March 5th. The phone comes in a choice between four colours, Lavender, Berry, Fog and Obsidian, and has a starting RRP of \u00a3499\/$499.<\/p>\n

With a starting RRP of \u00a3599\/$599, the iPhone 16e is slightly more expensive than its Google competitor. However, as the iPhone 16e is nearly one year old and is expected to be succeeded by the iPhone 17e soon, you should be able to find the phone with a discount. For example, at the time of writing you can get the iPhone 16e from Amazon for \u00a3499.<\/p>\n

Google Tensor G4 vs A18 Bionic chips<\/h2>\n

Both the Pixel 10a and iPhone 16e are powered by their respective manufacturers\u2019 own processors. While the Pixel 10a runs on Google\u2019s Tensor G4, which launched last year with the Pixel 9 series, the iPhone 16e is powered by Apple\u2019s A18 Bionic chip. Although the A18 chip has since been bested by A19, we still concluded that the 16e is a strong performer and that it stays cool under load.<\/p>\n
