You can already save up to $200 on the Pixel 10a at Best Buy — here's how to get yours

The Google Pixel 10a has only just landed, but you can already pick up some rather impressive deals for the phone. After all, $499 might be asking a little too much considering the lack of meaningful upgrades compared to the Pixel 9a. But knocking $100, or even $200, off the price tag makes it a much more appealing purchase.

Sounds unrealistic for such a new phone, but you can actually get a $100 gift card when you buy the Pixel 10a at Best Buy. It may not be money off the price, but that's a free $100 you can then spend on something else you might need. On top of that, Best Buy will also reduce the Pixel 10a to $399 if you sign up for AT&T or Verizon during the checkout process.

Those deals stack too, so you could get the phone for the equivalent of $299 — which is fantastic value.

Better still, the phone also comes with a $200 Best Buy gift card, regardless of whether you activate it immediately or not — effectively netting you a $200 off discount.

We'll be the first to admit that the Google Pixel 10a is not a particularly exciting upgrade. It doesn't offer a whole lot of new hardware, and it even came powered by the same Tensor G4 chipset as the Pixel 9a from last year. But that doesn't mean it's a bad phone. In fact, in our Pixel 10a review, we concluded that it's easily still the best value phone you can get your hands on right now.

Changes this year include improved battery life and charging speed, plus a slight redesign that makes the camera completely flush with the rear of the phone. That's not something you see very often, if ever, on a modern smartphone. Plus, there's support for the Pixel Satellite SOS feature, which can get you help even when there's no cell service.

This year's A-series also comes with additional AI features that you can't find on the Pixel 9a yet. There's support for the new Nano Banana image generation model, Auto Best Take, Camera Coach, desktop mode, Call Assist and more. All the old classics, like Circle to Search and Gemini Live, are here for you to enjoy as well.

I previously argued that it might be a better value for money to pick up the Pixel 9a instead of the 10a. But with discounts as steep as this, and at this early stage in the Pixel 10a's lifecycle, you might as well pick up the newer model.
