The Google Pixel 10a is slated to be released pretty soon. This update comes even though earlier rumors pointed to it launching before 2025 ended, which obviously did not happen.
We now have the first official-looking render for the Google Pixel 10a, following the CAD renders released a few months ago. The spec sheet leak seen just last month didn’t bring us any real surprises, so we basically know what to expect from the a-series now.
The Google Pixel 10a render shows the black version, likely adopting the ‘Obsidian’ name used since the Pixel 6. With a flat back and thick bezels, it looks virtually identical to last year’s Pixel 9a. However, this is definitely not a surprise, as even the higher-end Pixel 10 models sport rather thick bezels.
The Google Pixel 10a really looks like a carbon copy of the Pixel 9a, featuring two rear cameras and a hole-punch camera on the front. This is not a surprise as Google has said they stick with the same design for three generations now. This means the Pixel 11a will also look the same, that scheduled for 2026.
The specs are expected to remain virtually identical to those of the Pixel 9a.
Including the display, the specs of the Google Pixel 10a will be nearly identical to the Pixel 9a. It is actually going to be a 6.285-inch display, but Google and other makers will round that up to 6.3 inches. Since it can switch between 60Hz and 120Hz, it is not a full LTPO display here.
The Google Pixel 10a is using 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, with a 256GB model likely available too. Google has crammed a 5,100mAh capacity battery inside. However, it is not going to be silicon-carbon still, and it’ll likely use 23W for its max charging speed.
The Google Pixel 10a will likely use a souped-up Tensor G4 processor, based on what we’ve heard from previous leaks. The December listing did not mention the chipset, but we know it’s not quite the same chip as the rest of the Pixel 10 series.
We’re expecting the Google Pixel 10a to launch in the Spring, likely around March or April. Remember that the Pixel 9a was announced in March, but due to an unknown manufacturing issue, it ended up getting delayed until April.
