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
