*based on rumors
We don’t know much about the actual size and weight of the Pixel 10a, but according to all the leak info, pointing toward a very similar device to its predecessor, we expect these specs to remain similar to the Pixel 9a.
The Galaxy S25 FE weighs 190 grams, but it’s a very thin 7.4 mm phone. It features a larger display and given the footprint, Samsung did a really good job at keeping the weight under 200 grams.
Even more impressive when we factor in the glass back and aluminum frame of the S25 FE. The Pixel 10a is expected to feature a plastic back and still weigh more, despite the smaller screen.
Display Differences
The main difference here can be found in sheer size. The Galaxy S25 FE comes equipped with a big 6.7-inch panel, featuring a 120Hz refresh rate, good brightness and vivid colors. The Pixel 10a will most likely carry over the same panel from its predecessor – a 6.3 inch screen with a 120Hz refresh rate.

Performance and Software
Tensor versus Exynos
Now, the Pixel 10a might be underpowered, or there are even some rumors pointing toward a Tensor G4 chipset, but either way, we’re in for a tight battle. We’ll share the real numbers between the Pixel 10a and the Galaxy S25 FE once we lay our hands on the new affordable Pixel.

RAM, Storage 8/128GB 8/256GB 8/512GB LPDDR5X RAM |
*based on rumors
The RAM and storage situation is expected to be identical – both models will start at 8GB of RAM and 128GB of onboard memory – a rather modest configuration for the year 2026. The Galaxy S25 FE is available in some regions with more onboard memory—512GB. The software support is also identical—seven years—but the Pixel 10a will have an advantage, being a newer device.
Camera
3 versus 2
The Pixel 10a is expected to feature the same 48MP main camera as its predecessor, coupled with the same 13MP ultrawide. No telephoto on board.

Battery Life and Charging
No silicon-carbon
The Galaxy S25 FE ships with a 4,900 mAh cell inside, and it ranked #79 for phones tested in the past 2 years with a composite score of 6h 59m. Quite a mediocre result. The Pixel 10a is expected with a slightly larger 5,100 mAh battery, the same as the one found on the Pixel 9a, but don’t expect miracles, the Tensor G5 is not very efficient. For reference, the Pixel 10 ranked #63 in the same test with a score of 7h 16m.
We’ll test the Pixel 10a when it arrives, but it should be quite close to the Galaxy S25 FE as far as battery life is concerned. Which is not the case when it comes to charging.
| Pixel 10a* | Galaxy S25 FE |
|---|---|
| Battery size 5,100 mAh |
Battery size 4,900 mAh |
|
Charging speeds 23W wired 7.5W wireless charging USB-C 3.0 |
Charging speeds 45W wired 15W wireless USB-C 3.0 |
*based on rumors
The Galaxy S25 FE supports 45W of wired charging, and it’s able to fill its battery in roughly one hour. The wireless charging support caps at 15W, which is still twice as fast as what the Pixel 10a has in store. Speaking of which, the Pixel is expected to retain the rather slow 23W wired charging, and the same goes for the 7.5W wireless.

Summary
Second, the camera system is more versatile on the S25 FE with the extra telephoto snapper, and the overall quality is rather impressive. When it comes to hardware and software, both phones are pretty close together, and the same goes for the battery life.
So, if you want one extra camera, a larger screen, and faster charging, you’ll need to pay $150 more—the Galaxy S25 FE starts at $649, while the Pixel 10a is expected to launch at $499. We’ll update this comparison with tests and a final verdict once the Pixel 10a arrives in our lab.
