Google is scheduled to unveil the Pixel 10a on February 18, having already confirmed the phone's design. While earlier rumors suggested that the Pixel 10a would only feature new colors compared to the Pixel 9a, a recent leak indicates that there are additional changes.
The German blog WinFuture has obtained retailer information revealing that the Google Pixel 10a will be closely aligned with the Pixel 9a. Notable differences include the use of Gorilla Glass 7i for the display instead of Gorilla Glass 3, and an upgrade from Bluetooth 5.4 to Bluetooth 6.
The Pixel 10a will also offer improved charging capabilities, with a 45W charging speed compared to the 23W of its predecessor. However, it is still unclear whether wireless charging has been omitted, as there is no information regarding this feature, which was available on the Pixel 9a.
In terms of battery performance, the Pixel 10a retains the same 5,100 mAh capacity but is three grams lighter than the Pixel 9a, weighing in at 183 grams. The phone's dimensions have slightly altered, changing from 154.7 x 73.3 x 8.9 mm to 153.9 x 73 x 9 mm.
According to sources, the internal specifications remain largely unchanged, featuring the same Tensor G4 chip from the previous generation, 8GB of LPDDR5X RAM, and storage options of 128GB or 256GB using UFS 3.1 technology. The display will be a 6.3-inch 120Hz P-OLED with a resolution of 2,424 x 1,080 pixels, including an under-display fingerprint scanner.
The camera setup will consist of three lenses: a 48MP primary camera, a 13MP ultrawide camera, and a 13MP selfie camera.
Additionally, the Google Pixel 10a will be IP68-rated, ship with Android 16 out of the box, and promise OS and security updates for seven years. It will be available in four color options: Obsidian (Black), Fog (White/Green), Lavender (Blue/Purple), and Berry (Red/Pink).
