Been thinking about springing for the new Google Pixel 10a? The brand's new mid-range flagship is now available to preorder at both the official Google Store and major networks this week — and there are some fantastic deals to consider.

First up, Google itself is offering a £100 bonus on top of the usual trade-in rebates, meaning a discount of up to £395 on the device. Considering the Pixel 10a comes in at a relatively affordable £499 upfront, you're potentially getting an unlocked device for just over £100 with the maximum rebate.

Those trade-in rebates are mirrored at the major networks this week, too. Three, Vodafone, and EE all have trade discounts ranging from £120 to £300 right now. The main promotions at these carriers, however, are the further discounts you can get on the attached plans, which reach up to £20 off per month.

Three is just one of many major networks offering excellent Pixel 10a preorder deals today, but the brand's deal is particularly good. The trade-in of up to £120 off isn't amazing, but you can get a really nice long-term discount on your plan over a few years here, which gives extra incentive to pick up a device during this initial preorders phase.

In terms of absolute discounts, Vodafone's opening Pixel 10a deals have to be up there with the best right now. Not only can you get a very competitive trade-in rebate with an added preorder bonus, but the network is also offering a significant discount on your plan. That's a discount that applies to all of Vodafone's plans too, meaning you have choices for both cheap and pricey contracts here.

EE is another network offering serious Pixel 10a deals this week, with the option for a trade-in rebate and a discount on your plan. Curiously, I can't see the maximum trade rebates, but the plan discounts can reach up to £20 per month on the unlimited plans, which is very handy because EE usually has some of the best (and priciest) higher-end plans on the market.

Not only that, but several contracts include a free pair of Pixel Buds 2a - and, you can also trade-in an old device for a further discount.

For an unlocked device, you won't find a bigger discount than Google's own trade-in programme this week. Right now, you can get an impressive discount of up to £395 thanks to an additional £100 bonus that's specifically part of the preorders phase. That's enough to get a device for just over £100 if you hit that maximum rebate.

What's new with the Google Pixel 10a?

  • Debuting at $499 unlocked
  • New slim-line flat design
  • Faster charging and better battery life

You can check out our hands-on preview if you're interested in seeing what the Google Pixel 10a is all about. That includes our initial impressions and detailed analysis.

As an overview, the Pixel 10a's main selling point is definitely its slimline design without the usual camera hump. Unlike nearly every other modern device, the 48MP rear camera sits flush with the rest of the body, giving the device a nice minimalist look.

Even though Google has taken a new direction with the Pixel 10a's design, internally, the device still retains the Tensor G4 chipset from the previous generation. If you don't need power on tap, however, then the G4 is still serviceable enough, with support for all the most useful Gemini features. You'll also benefit from a surprisingly large battery and Google's typically strong (and easy-to-use) camera tech.
