The next big mid-range phone from Google is already making headlines. The Google Pixel 10a, successor to the popular Pixel 9a, is reportedly in development — and early leaks have revealed quite a bit about what to expect. From design details and specs to price and launch timeline, here’s everything we know so far about Google’s upcoming “affordable Pixel.”
Familiar Design, Subtle Tweaks
According to leaks from Android Headlines and reliable tipster OnLeaks, the Pixel 10a will look almost identical to the Pixel 9a. Expect the same clean, minimalist aesthetic with a flat rear panel and a dual-camera setup housed inside a horizontal camera bar — a signature Pixel design element.
The phone is said to feature a 6.2-inch display and measure around 153.9 x 72.9 x 9 mm, exactly the same as its predecessor. The power and volume buttons will sit on the right side, while color options could include Obsidian (black), Porcelain (white), Iris (purple), and a new blue shade.
Specs: Boosted Tensor G4 and Long-Term Support
Under the hood, the Pixel 10a is expected to run on Google’s Tensor G4 chipset — possibly a slightly upgraded version of the one found in the Pixel 9a. Reports suggest higher clock speeds for improved performance and efficiency.
Other rumored highlights include:
- UFS 3.1 storage for faster app loading and file transfers
- Peak brightness of 2,000 nits, making it easy to view even under bright sunlight
- 7 years of software support, continuing Google’s long-term update promise
As for the camera, Google seems to be keeping things familiar — a 48MP primary lens and a 13MP ultra-wide lens on the back, tuned for signature Pixel image processing.
Pixel 10a Launch Date and Price in India
If Google sticks to its usual schedule, the Pixel 10a will likely launch between March 10 and March 20, 2026.
When it comes to pricing, the Pixel 10a is expected to stay in the same range as its predecessor — around ₹49,999 in India. This positions it as a strong contender in the premium mid-range segment, going head-to-head with phones from OnePlus, Samsung, and Nothing.
What to Expect
While the Pixel 10a may not bring a radical redesign, it’s shaping up to be a refined and reliable upgrade — with improved performance, great cameras, and long-term software support that few Android phones can match.
For those who love Google’s clean software experience but don’t want to splurge on flagship models, the Pixel 10a could be the perfect fit when it launches in early 2026.
