Performance:smooth Best Feature:leica cam Excellent service and authentic products! The phone looks brand new. I ordered 8GB RAM but received 12GB—thanks for the surprise! Battery life is decent for a used phone (lasts one day), and the staff is very easy to talk to. Delivery takes about 10 days, but it’s 100% worth it.

I have been using the Pixel 10a for a little while now and I have to say I am genuinely impressed with it. I'm not one for changing phones every year and I tend to keep them until they give up, but this one has surprised me. The size is spot on. Not too big and not too heavy. It sits nicely in the hand and fits in a pocket without feeling like you're carrying a tablet around. I've had larger phone Jeffrey · johnlewis.com
