Google Pixel fans have been anticipating the Pixel 10a since the Pixel 10 series launched in 2025. Based on recent leaks, the Pixel 10a appears to be a modest update over the Pixel 9a, focusing on a potentially earlier launch and slightly lower pricing rather than big spec upgrades. Here's a detailed view of Google's upcoming budget-friendly device, including possible launch date, price, design, chipset, and other specs and features.
Launch Date
The Pixel 10a is expected to arrive earlier than its predecessor. The Pixel 9a launched on March 19 last year, but multiple tipsters indicate the Pixel 10a could debut as soon as Feb. 17 — potentially hitting shelves in mid-February.
Price
Leaks point to a starting price of around €500 (roughly Rs 52,000) for the base 128GB model in Europe, with the 256GB variant at about €600 (around Rs 63,000). This would represent a slight reduction compared to the Pixel 9a's launch price in some markets. However, these figures are based on unofficial sources and remain subject to change.
Design
Leaked renders show the Pixel 10a maintaining the classic A-series look, with a flat plastic back, a pill-shaped camera module housing a dual-camera setup, and relatively thick bezels. It appears very similar to the Pixel 9a overall.
Display
A 6.3-inch LTPS OLED panel is expected in the 10a, with FHD+ resolution and a variable refresh rate of up to 120Hz.
Processor And Software
The Pixel 10a is rumoured to be powered by Google's Tensor G4 chipset — the same as in the Pixel 9a but reportedly with slightly higher clock speeds for improved performance. It should ship with Android 16 and come with up to seven years of software updates and security support.
Battery
Inside the 10a will likely be a 5,100mAh battery, carrying over from the previous model, along with up to 23W wired charging.
Camera
No major changes have been reported so far, and the camera set is likely to mirror the Pixel 9a's: a dual rear camera with a 48MP main sensor and 13MP ultrawide lens, plus a 13MP front-facing shooter. Google's improved processing should continue to deliver strong results despite the modest hardware upgrades.
