Google Teases Pixel 10a, Preorders Open February 18

Early leaks suggest a largely iterative update focused on cost control.

Overview

  • Google’s 15‑second teaser shows a powder blue Pixel 10a with a design closely resembling the 9a, including a flush dual‑camera module.
  • Retail availability is reported to follow preorders, with late‑February to early‑March shipping and one outlet citing March 5 for in‑store sales.
  • Certification and leak reports point to a 6.285‑inch FHD+ 120Hz AMOLED display, Tensor G4 chipset, 8GB of RAM, at least 128GB of storage, and a 5,100mAh battery.
  • Leaker Evan Blass shared marketing‑style images that depict a blue/purple finish and features like Gemini Live and Hold for Me, with other colors reported (Obsidian, Fog, Lavender) and a ‘Berry’ hue still unverified.
  • Pricing remains unannounced; reports expect a starting point near $499/€549, while outlets note component cost pressures and highlight discounted Pixel 9a deals as a strong value alternative.
