Google’s Pixel 10 series is expected to be rounded out by the Pixel 10a, likely launching in 2026. As usual, we are getting the early details through leaks and rumors rather than official announcements.
A new leak has now given us a first look at the Pixel 10a’s design. OnLeaks, in collaboration with AndroidHeadlines, shared CAD-based renders of the phone, and on first glance, it doesn’t look much different from the Pixel 9a.
The phone retains the flush rear camera design, with no noticeable bumps. It features chamfered edges with the power and volume buttons sitting on the right. The device is said to measure 153.9 x 72.9 x 9mm and will have a slightly smaller 6.2-inch display, compared to the 6.3-inch panel on the Pixel 9a.
The renders also give away that the Pixel 10a will use a metal frame, as the antenna lines are clearly visible, while the back is expected to remain plastic.
What can we expect?
Specs-wise, there’s not much new to report. The Pixel 10a is expected to use the same Tensor G4 chip as its predecessor. That’s a bit of a letdown since Google’s Tensor chips have generally lagged behind the flagship offerings from Qualcomm and MediaTek.
Meanwhile, other phones in the Pixel 10 series already run on the newer Tensor G5. Historically, Google has used a near-identical chip for its A-series phones, so it’s surprising the company won’t bring those improvements to the 10a.
On the bright side, we hope that the Pixel 10a might bring PixelSnap magnetic accessories support. PixelSnap also makes it easier to use even MagSafe-compatible attachments on the back of the phone.
