  "account": "In a recent review, Amateur Photographer praised the Google Pixel 10A as a budget-friendly smartphone with impressive camera capabilities. However, the reviewer noted that Google's own phones, such as the Pixel 9A, offer similar features at a lower cost. Among the positives, the Pixel 10A boasts an excellent camera setup for its price, easy-to-use AI features, and impressive photo results. On the downside, the device has undergone minimal changes since the previous model, offers minimal professional/manual controls, and comes with a relatively low 128GB storage capacity.\n\nAt an RRP of $499 (128GB), the Pixel 10A competes with other budget options from Samsung and Apple. Despite the lower storage space, the device still holds its ground against rivals like the Samsung A57 (tripple camera, £529, 256GB) and the Apple 17e (single camera, £599, 256GB). The Pixel 10A features a 48MP wide-angle main camera with an f/1.7 aperture, 25mm equivalent, phase detection autofocus, and optical image stabilisation. It also includes a 13MP ultra-wide camera with an f/2.2 aperture, and a 13MP selfie camera with a 20mm equivalent, both fixed focus.\n\nThe phone's display features a 6.3-inch FullHD P-OLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate and peak brightness of 3000nits. However, the phone's larger borders are a common characteristic among entry-level devices. With a 5100mAh battery, the Pixel 10A supports wireless charging and is IP67 rated, making it resistant to accidental water exposure. Google's 7-year support for OS, security, and feature updates further adds to the device's appeal.",
  "summary": "The Google Pixel 10A may seem almost identical to last years model, but that doesn't stop it being a great camera phone for budget buyers. The post Google Pixel 10A review – still a great camera phone for budget buyers appeared first on Amateur Photographer .",
