Welcome to episode 87 of Pixelated, a podcast by 9to5Google. This week, Damien, Abner, and Will talk through Google’s surprise Pixel 10a announcement, what we might expect from that phone, and whether it’s worth picking up a Pixel 9a in its place. Their attention briefly turns to Google’s February patch for Android — a patch without any much in the way of actual fixes, it seems — before finally debated Google’s oddly-sad Gemini ad ahead of this weekend’s Super Bowl.
