With Android 10, Google has added Dual SIM Dual Standby support on Pixel 3a phones.  Google Pixel phones have essentially been single SIM phones. With the Android Q Beta, Google leveraged the eSIM on Pixel 3 and 3XL phones and added Dual SIM Dual Standby support to these phones. The privilege was later revoked in subsequent Beta versions, only to be bestowed back with the new Android 10.

The Dual-SIM support will, however, work only for the mid-range Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL, and only for supported carriers. Google’s Support page details steps you need to follow to avail Dual SIM Dual Standby functionality.
