The new Google Pixel 10a makes a few compromises this year, perhaps the biggest being that it’s no longer powered by Google’s latest yearly flagship processor. Instead of the latest Tensor G5, the Pixel 10a settles for last year’s Tensor G4 processor. Those hoping for a bit more performance on a budget will no doubt be disappointed.To be fair to the 10a, the Tensor G4 was a flagship-tier processor (of sorts) just last year and is certainly no slouch for daily tasks. However, this means that the Pixel 10a is no faster than its predecessor, at least on paper. This certainly appears to be the case when we ran the phone through the popular GeekBench 6 CPU test as well.
