I appreciate the Google store making it relatively easy to compare the specs between current phones and end-of-sale phones.

Here’s a comparison between the Pixel 10a and the Pixel 7: https://store.google.com/us/magazine/compare_pixel?hl=en-US&...

The one thing that wasn’t clear from the comparison was if USB display output is supported on the Pixel 10a. If it is, then I’m sold.

I can't really see much that stands out, as a Pixel 7 owner; just a faster CPU and slightly tweaked cameras?

Overall I agree. It's not the most amazing option compared to the Pixel 7.

There are three reasons why I'd get this:

1. The trade-in value on the Pixel 7 is depreciating with time. Upgrading today should save more money vs. upgrading down the road.

2. It's on-par with Pixel 7 and significantly less expensive than the standard Pixel 10.

3. My goal is to replace the Pixel 7 with something that has USB-C display output so I can finally use my AR glasses with my phone.

All of these points are my initial impressions of the phone. Hopefully they turn out to be true of anyone who decides to go this route.
