Google is about to launch its new Pixel 10a, and has already revealed that pre-orders begin on February 18. As per usual, the brand-new budget smartphone will be available to pick up at the official Google store, but it probably isn’t the only place where you’ll find one. So, we’ve put together a list of the best places to buy a Pixel 10a in the US, UK, and Canada.
You can already sign up early for pre-order and availability news at the Google store. This includes special offers for those who do, though we’re waiting to see just what other kind of pre-order bonuses will be available on the day, if any. Google is known for offering Pixel Buds bundles with its new phones, but we’ll have to wait and see if this is true for the 10a.
