Current-gen Pixel phones come with the latest version of Android out of the box, are first in line to receive new updates, and receive support for a very long time \u2014 7 years, to be exact. This makes them a compelling alternative to the iPhone, which also has excellent software support. Of course, if you&#8217;re looking for an apples-to-apples comparison, the top-of-the-line Pixel 10 Pro is what you should be considering if you want to match the experience the latest iPhone 17 Pro offers.<\/p>\n<p>Nearly every smartphone manufacturer that markets and sells flagship phones also offers a few options in the budget segment. For Google, that phone is the Pixel 10a. Powered by last year&#8217;s Tensor G4 SoC, packed with 8GB of RAM, and featuring a great dual-camera setup on the rear as we&#8217;ve explored in our review of the Pixel 10a, it&#8217;s a solid option to consider if you&#8217;re shopping in the sub-$500 price range.<\/p>\n<p>The Pixel 10a does cut a few corners to achieve its price tag. For starters, it isn&#8217;t exactly the best performer in its segment. Fortunately, there are a number of solid contenders that give the phone a run for its money, five of which we highlight below. Do note that a few of our picks aren&#8217;t officially sold in the U.S. Though you can import them from trusted channels, carrier compatibility might be a hit or a miss.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"\">OnePlus 15R<\/h2>\n<p>        &#8230;<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.slashgear.com\/2155639\/affordable-android-phones-more-power-than-google-pixel-10a\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>5 Affordable Android Phones That Have More Power Than The Google Pixel 10a https:\/\/www.slashgear.com\/2155639\/affordable-android-phones-more-power-than-google-pixel-10a\/ Publish&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":236898,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.slashgear.com\/img\/gallery\/5-affordable-android-phones-that-have-more-power-than-the-google-pixel-10a\/l-intro-1776968275.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[70,83,72],"class_list":["post-236897","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-android","tag-google","tag-oneplus","tag-pixel"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/236897"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=236897"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/236897\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":236899,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/236897\/revisions\/236899"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/236898"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=236897"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=236897"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=236897"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
