The excitement surrounding Google’s upcoming Pixel 10a is growing, despite the recent release of the Pixel 9a.
Rumors are swirling about the release date, pricing, and features of Google’s mid-range phone for 2026. Here’s everything we know so far about the Google Pixel 10a.
When will the Google Pixel 10a be released?
While the Pixel 10 series was just announced on August 20th at the Made by Google event, the A-series was not part of the initial announcement. It’s typical for Google to announce flagship models in the summer and release mid-range models the following spring. Based on recent trends, the Pixel 10a is expected to be released in March 2026.
Previous models have followed a yearly release cycle, with the Pixel 9a being an exception, initially unveiled in March 2025 and then delayed until April.
How much will the Google Pixel 10a cost?
While the official pricing for the Pixel 10a has not been confirmed, it is expected to be competitive within the mid-range market. Past Pixel A models have been priced between £349/$349 and £499/$499 at launch.
Potential cost-cutting measures, such as using an older processor like the Tensor G4 instead of the G5, could help Google keep the price of the Pixel 10a affordable. Expect the starting price to be at least £499/$499.
What specs and features will the Google Pixel 10a have?
While details are limited, early rumors suggest some features of the Pixel 10a.
Design
The Pixel 10a is likely to feature a new design, moving away from the visor-style camera bar of the Pixel 8a. It may retain the premium metal and glass build of the Pixel 9a, along with an IP68 rating. Expect color options like Obsidian and Porcelain.
Display
The Pixel 10a could feature a 6.3-inch Full HD+ pOLED display with a high refresh rate and peak brightness. An optical fingerprint sensor may also be integrated into the screen.
Performance
The choice of processor for the Pixel 10a is a topic of debate. It may use a modified version of the Tensor G5 chip or the older Tensor G4 from the Pixel 9a. This decision could impact the device’s performance and features.
Cameras
The Pixel 10a is expected to feature a dual-camera system, similar to previous A-series models. Specific details about the camera setup are not yet available.
Battery & Charging
Battery life will be crucial for the Pixel 10a, especially if older hardware is used. Expect a large battery capacity and support for both wired and wireless charging.
Software
The Pixel 10a is likely to launch with the latest version of Android, offering a clean software experience and long-term support for updates.
