Welcome to episode 88 of Pixelated, a podcast by 9to5Google. This week, Abner, Will, and Ben talk all about the Pixel 10a, a device where the ‘a’ seems to stand for ‘again.’ Without much in the way of new features, the trio dive into all of the nuances that make the Pixel 10a stand out from its predecessor, before asking the obvious: is it time for smartphone makers to take longer generational breaks? Plus: we know when Google I/O is happening, and we talk all through how we’ll be controlling our Android‑powered glasses.
