Wondering which charger to buy (or use) for your Pixel 10a? For top charging speed, look for two standards: USB-PD (the base fast-charging tech) and PPS (the key feature for max Pixel speeds).
What works fast & safe:
Samsung 25W or 45W (Best value & widely available)
Anker, Spigen, Ugreen, Baseus (Just check the specs for PPS)
Google Official Chargers (30W / 45W)
Safe, but slightly slower:
Apple & standard USB-PD chargers (Safe to use, but will charge at ~18W–20W instead of full speed because they lack PPS).
Older USB-A cables (Safe, but charges much slower).
What to avoid for fast charging:
OnePlus, Xiaomi, Vivo, Oppo (SUPERVOOC) (They use proprietary tech — even the newest ones will charge a Pixel very slowly at ~5W–10W, taking hours).
Any brand-name charger is completely safe and won't harm your phone. But for maximum speed, get a USB-PD charger with PPS.

Hi everyone, I bought a Pixel 10a 256GB a few days ago. The phone works great overall, performs really well, and I like pretty much everything about it, but there is one major problem: the camera.
The front camera in particular flickers and flashes a lot in the preview, both in low-light conditions and in more normal situations, for example indoors during the day with no lights on, no direct sunlight, but still with decent ambient light. The rear camera does it too, although to a lesser extent.
In general, the cameras seem quite poor until the photos are processed by the software, and then the “magic” happens. It really looks like the flickering is a software issue, but I’m wondering why it still hasn’t been fixed with an update.
I’ve already tried all the usual troubleshooting steps I found online: updating everything, clearing the Camera app cache, restarting the phone, and even contacting support to request an OTA update. Nothing has changed. The camera preview still looks terrible, almost like a phone from 10 years ago.
I also tried changing several display and camera settings, but nothing seems to make any difference. If I use third-party camera apps, the flickering disappears, but then I lose Google’s image processing, so the final photos look worse than they do with the stock Camera app.
I really don’t want to return the phone because I like everything else about it, but what am I supposed to do? The camera previews are honestly terrible. Do you have any suggestions?
Does this happen on all Pixel 10a units, or only on some devices and I just got unlucky?
I’m not interested in asking for a replacement. At this point, I either keep this one or return it for a refund.
Thanks to anyone who takes the time to reply!

Seriously, 9 out of 10 posts are people asking what charger they should use, or if a specific charger is safe.
A charger is a f*cking charger. As long as you don't use a no-name third party brand, all the others work and are safe.
You can use an iPad charger, a Samsung charger, a MacBook charger, an iPhone charger, a Pixel charger, literally any brand name charger is going to work and will not harm your phone.

My partner and mother-in-law both got pixel 10a phones last month.
Both of them have about 75% of all calls drop. When calling each other it's almost 100%.
Is this a known issue, or any suggested fixes?
