Google Pixel 10 Pro vs Google Pixel 7a 5G

Our Verdict: The Pixel 10 Pro is three years newer than the Pixel 7a 5G, and it shows in the specs. The 7a 5G leads on camera hardware with a 64MP main sensor to the 10 Pro's 50MP, and the 10 Pro packs the bigger battery, 4870mAh against 4385mAh, which usually means longer between charges. The 10 Pro has the stronger screen, bigger at 6.3" against 6.1" and sharper at 497 PPI, and the 10 Pro goes up to 1TB of storage, where the 7a 5G tops out at 128GB. If you're on the 7a 5G, the 10 Pro is a real step up, but only worth it if the changes above matter to you.

Buying outright, the 7a 5G starts at £195 SIM-free.
