I am planning to exchange my pixe 6a for 10a and was wondering how do they handle the exchange. Do I need the box also? How will I transfer my data while exchanging? If anything else I should be wary of?

I am facing an issue with the pixel 10a front camera. Do not know if this is normal or specifically with my phone. Even a 15k chinese phone has a better camera. Pls suggest if anyone is facing the same issue

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.

What price is expected in upcoming Google India Store Sale for Pixel 10A Berry? Waiting for sale. Hopefully there will be some reduction in price

I'll buy a phone soon and was looking into the 10a. It's a beautiful friend and everything about it is amazing. But I'm seeing that the charging time is a lot often over one and a half hours from empty to full. I also never see the Google 45w charger available so it'll have to be the samsung one. Does anyone have any fixes or maybe it's not that bad or something?

Hey everyone, I recently got a Pixel 10 and I’m still on the November build. I’ve been holding off on updates because I came across a few posts mentioning battery drain after the March update.

Just wanted to check with people who are on the latest version how’s the battery life been for you? Any noticeable drain, heating, or other issues? Or has everything been stable lately?

Trying to decide whether I should update or just stay where I am for now.

I have a Pixel 8 and weirdly its already down in the dumps within 2 years.. green screen, Heating issues, slow charging speed, deteriorating battery life etc. Repairs cost crazy (atleast in India). But I absolutely love the photos that this phone delivers. But now with not so great Pixel experiences (Pixel 6 and now 8), joining the thread to see if I should still consider being loyal and buy a Pixel 10 pro. Suggestions from people who have actually experienced other good performace phones with good cameras welcome.

PS: I am not into gaming.

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.

I want advice from the veterans

I have ordered my pixel 10a and it will be coming this Wednesday

I am a first time pixel user

Soo anything I should keep in mind

The Google brand, camera, clean UI with a very decent pricing works for 10a

What doesn't work is heating and the ugly looking bazels I mean the phone outright looks so ugly from thr front in 2026 The bazels are so unattractive and imagine one have to use this for 4 5yrs the full disastrous experience everytime you see another phone screen with minimal bazels.

This is what I feel about Pixel 10a you can downgrade camera compare to 10 which is logical But still giving shitty bazels why

Reason why I don't event considering 10a as my phone but have to strech my budget and go for the 10 instead

Two days back, i made a post regarding pixel 10a here and the responses are positive. Today i went to Croma to check out Pixel 10a and Np 4a pro.

Except Zooming details, Pixel 10a eats the NP 4a pro. After that i compared Pixel 10 and Pixel 10a side by side. During the comparison, i found Pixel 10a have abnormal heating on frame and there is no warmness in backside but only on both sides of Frame. Pixel 10 stays cooler over the comparison.

Anyone experiencing abnormal heating issues on 10A here? please drop your comment regarding thermals on 10A. its a big factor for me

Same as title. I want to buy 10a, but want to know the negatives of this phone from indian users specifically.

It's more than 8 months since pixel 10 series in India started getting call screening feature in India but since then no progress for 9 series.

Is it coming to 9 series or not?

Hey everyone,

My one-month-old Pixel 10a (GE1GQ, 256GB, Lavender) took a fall from the 6th floor. The screen and midframe housing are completely destroyed, but I'm fairly confident the motherboard and wireless charging assembly survived.

I'm planning a full rebuild and wanted to get some advice from people who've done something similar.

What I'm replacing:

• Screen/display assembly
• Midframe housing
• Back cover (likely)

What I believe is salvageable:

• Motherboard
• Wireless charging coil

My specific questions:

1. Transferring components from old housing to new: The vibration motor and upper ear speaker are both adhered to my current midframe. The bottom loudspeaker pops out easily, but the other two will need careful removal. Any tips on getting these off cleanly without damaging them? Heat gun, isopropyl alcohol, or just patience?
2. Front camera bracket: There's a small metal bracket/cage where the front camera sits in my current housing. Will a replacement midframe typically come with this, or do I need to transfer it over?
3. Thermal pads/paste: There are thermal pads stuck to the current housing around the board area. Should I reapply fresh thermal paste/pads on the new frame, and if so, what should I use?
4. Midframe sourcing: I found one on MobiSentrix. Is that a reliable source for Pixel parts, or is there a better vendor I should consider? Open to suggestions.

This is my first major repair so I want to get it right. Any guidance — or things to watch out for that I might be missing — would be really appreciated.
