Pixel 10a CAD Renders Hint at Near-Identical Design and Early 2026 Launch

Leaked images suggest Google is prioritizing cost control with a boosted Tensor G4 over flagship silicon.

Overview

  • Android Headlines published CAD-based renders with OnLeaks that depict a Pixel 10a closely resembling the 9a’s flat plastic back and flush dual-camera layout.
  • OnLeaks cautioned that bezels in the images look slimmer than the real device is expected to have, and CADs may omit or misstate details like the SIM tray.
  • Reported dimensions are roughly 153.9 x 72.9 x 9mm with a 6.2-inch display, the same button placement as the 9a, and symmetrical bottom speaker and mic cutouts.
  • Multiple outlets expect a higher-clocked Tensor G4 instead of the Tensor G5, likely UFS 3.1 storage, about a 5,100mAh battery, and a starting price near $499 with extended software support.
  • Coverage now points to an early or March 2026 debut after earlier late-2025 rumors, with only modest performance or efficiency gains anticipated over the Pixel 9a.
