• ‘ZDNET Recommends’: What exactly does it mean? • ZDNET’s recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. • We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. • And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing. • When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn affiliate commissions. • This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay.
Article Summaries:
- Verizon is offering Google’s new Pixel 10a for free when customers open a new line of service. The promotion applies to the base 128‑GB model in Lavender and Obsidian, while the 256‑GB version and other colors are only available through Google’s store. Eligible plans include Verizon’s Unlimited Welcome ($55/month), Unlimited Plus ($70/month), and Unlimited Ultimate ($80/month) for a single line, with rates locked for three years. The Pixel 10a, priced at $499 retail, features a 6.3‑inch Actua display, Gorilla Glass 7i, IP68 rating, and Android 16 with seven years of updates. The offer is marketed as “free,” but requires a new line and plan commitment.
