Google launched the Pixel 10a in March 2023, and a recent disassembly revealed its repairability score of 8.5 out of 10. To access the phone's internals, users need a hair dryer or heat gun to loosen the adhesive on the back plate, after which the disassembly process becomes straightforward. The phone's design includes a pull pouch for easy battery removal and a mesh rubber gasket on the speaker to prevent water ingress. The Pixel 10a scored maximum points in three categories: ease of finding replacement parts, battery replacement, and screen replacement. However, the soldered USB port received criticism for complicating repairs, resulting in a lower score in that area. The Pixel 10a is available for $499 for the 128GB model and $599 for the 256GB model, making it a competitive option in the market for affordable smartphones.
