Google’s next mid-range contender, the Pixel 10a, is reportedly in the works. While the official details remain scarce, early leaks suggest a design similar to its predecessor. The upcoming smartphone looks nearly identical to the Pixel 9a, retaining its plastic rear panel and minimalist design. Additionally, the Pixel 10a is tipped to come with some significant upgrades. The handset is expected to pack a Tensor G4 chipset, a 6.2-inch display, and possibly the same dual-camera setup as before. Here’s everything we know so far.
According to renders shared by Android Headlines via tipster OnLeaks, the phone could retain the design of its predecessor. The design language remains nearly identical with a flat plastic back panel, a flush horizontal dual-camera bar at the top-left corner, and a centrally placed hole-punch selfie camera. According to Android Headlines, the handset retains the same 6.2-inch display and overall dimensions of 153.9 x 72.9 x 9mm, matching the Pixel 9a nearly point-for-point.
Button placement remains unchanged, with the power and volume keys on the right. The leaked images reveal noticeable bezels around the display and visible antenna bands along the frame. There’s also a microphone hole at both the top and bottom edges, and one of the renders highlights a striking blue hue.
Under the hood, rumours suggest the Pixel 10a will be powered by a “boosted” version of Google’s Tensor G4 chipset, the same SoC found in the Pixel 9a, but with slightly higher clock speeds. The phone is tipped to feature UFS 3.1 storage, support for 2,000 nits of peak brightness, and identical camera hardware.
Google is also expected to offer seven years of software support, further strengthening its long-term value proposition.
