Google Pixel 10a Set for February 18 Launch: Pre-order Dates and Early Bird Perks Revealed
Affordable Google phone arrives with AI tools and robust design
Google has officially pulled the curtain back on the release schedule for its latest budget-friendly handset, the Google Pixel 10a. Tech enthusiasts in Odisha and across India should mark their calendars for February 18, the confirmed date when pre-orders will go live on the Google Store.
For those eager to secure the best deal, the tech giant has rolled out a time-sensitive incentive. Buyers who register on the Google Store before 1:29 PM IST on February 13 will receive a special promotional offer via email once pre-orders open. This exclusive perk can be redeemed during the purchase of the new device to unlock benefits for future orders, adding extra value for early adopters.
Built Tougher and Smarter
This latest addition to the A-series is touted as the most durable model in the lineup’s history. Beyond its sturdy build, the smartphone continues the brand's legacy of delivering high-quality photography at an accessible price point, promising users "incredible photos with a tap."
However, the standout feature for the Pixel 10a is its deep integration with Gemini, Google’s advanced AI assistant. Built directly into the device, Gemini is designed to handle everyday tasks intuitively, making the phone feel responsive and intelligent from the moment it is unboxed.
Bridging the Gap for iPhone Users
Google is also making a concerted effort to woo Apple users. The Pixel 10a introduces features that smooth out the transition from iOS, including enhanced messaging capabilities that allow for better group chats and high-resolution media sharing with iPhone users. The device also supports seamless video calling, ensuring FaceTime connections remain stable.
To further ease the switch, the phone offers a setup option to begin transferring data before the device even arrives at your doorstep. It also boasts broad compatibility with popular accessories, pairing effortlessly with AirPods, Apple TV, and various wearables like Fitbit and Wear OS smartwatches.
Flexible Buying Options
Shoppers can take advantage of attractive exchange bonuses for old handsets and flexible payment plans. Options include no-cost EMIs for up to 24 months or the use of existing Google Store credits to lower the upfront cost.
