Google Pixel 10a drops to £409 on Amazon, AI info agents launch for

Google’s newest Pixel 10a is now £409 on Amazon, a £91 cut that undercuts the Google Store price and ends on June 22 2024 [1]. The discount applies to the 128 GB Obsidian model, while the 64 GB versions match the Store’s £429 price.

The Pixel 10a, released in March, carries the same Tensor G4 chip as its predecessor but adds a flush‑camera design, a 6.3‑inch OLED screen and a 5,100 mAh battery that keeps the phone running all day [1]. Google promises seven years of software updates, meaning the device will receive security and OS upgrades through March 2033. At £409 the handset offers flagship‑level AI features and camera quality close to the Pixel 10 Pro XL, which retails for £849 at Argos [1].

Google rolls out AI information agents for Ultra subscribers

At its I/O 2026 event, Google announced “Search agents” that let users create AI‑driven information agents, and the first rollout targets AI Ultra subscribers this summer [2]. According to Robby Stein, VP of Product for Google Search, the agents monitor blogs, news sites and social platforms, pushing notifications when relevant changes occur, such as sneaker drops or concert announcements [2]. The feature is available across all AI Mode languages and markets, with plans to extend access to AI Pro users later in the summer [2].

Both moves highlight Google’s dual strategy: squeezing price competition on hardware while expanding AI services that keep users locked into its ecosystem. The Pixel discount may drive more hardware sales ahead of the June 22 deadline, but the real test will be whether information agents deliver timely, accurate updates that justify the AI Ultra subscription fee. As Google broadens AI functionality, the question remains how quickly competitors can match the convenience of automated, personalized alerts.
