Pixel 10a Camera Defect Reports Are Growing — We Need Answers

⚠️ Pixel 10a Users, We Need to Speak Up

I am creating this post because I have noticed multiple reports of Pixel 10a camera failures from users who purchased their devices only days or weeks earlier.

My own Pixel 10a developed a camera issue shortly after purchase. After review, Google classified my device as DOA (Dead on Arrival) and approved a replacement.

The concerning part is that I am not alone. Many users appear to be reporting similar camera problems. If this is happening to multiple people, Google needs to investigate and provide clear answers.

We are spending around ₹50,000 on these devices. Customers should not be facing major hardware failures within the first few weeks of ownership.

Most importantly, please report the issue directly to Google Support and post about it on X (Twitter), Reddit, and the Pixel Community forums. The more documented cases there are, the harder it becomes to ignore a potential widespread problem.

If enough users come forward, we should collectively ask Google to:

  1. Investigate the root cause of these camera failures.

2.Release a software update immediately if the problem is software-related.

3.Improve quality control if the problem is hardware-related.

If you have been affected, please share your experience and help raise awareness.

Update on my Pixel 10A replacement:

Google has now shipped my replacement Pixel 10a 256GB (Fog). I also contacted Google Support to ask whether the replacement would be a new device or a certified refurbished unit.

Their response was:

"As the original unit is classified as Dead on Arrival (DOA), you will be receiving a new replacement device."

The replacement has already been assigned an IMEI and is currently in transit via Blue Dart. Waiting for delivery now and hoping everything goes smoothly.

I'll post another update once I receive the device.

Pixel replacement approved — did you receive a refurbished or brand new device?

My Pixel 10A replacement request was recently approved by Google. I wanted to ask about other users’ experiences with replacement devices.

Did you receive:

- a brand new device, or

- a Google refurbished replacement unit?

If you received a refurbished device, how was the condition and long-term performance? Any issues after replacement?

Would appreciate honest experiences from Pixel users. Thank you.
