Google is expected to complete its next generation Pixel 10 family with the Pixel 10a, which will likely arrive sometime in 2026. As expected, information is coming from leaks at this stage rather than anything official from the company.
A fresh leak has provided a clearer idea of what the Pixel 10a may look like. The renders, shared by OnLeaks together with AndroidHeadlines, are based on detailed CAD data. At first glance, the phone appears quite similar to the Pixel 9a in overall style.
The rear camera design remains flat with no major protrusions. The frame has chamfered edges and the power and volume keys sit on the right side. Its dimensions are said to be 153.9 by 72.9 by 9 millimeters, and the display will reportedly measure around 6.2 inches, making it just a little smaller than the 6.3 inch panel on the Pixel 9a.
The images also hint that the Pixel 10a will include a metal frame since visible antenna bands can be seen around the device. The back panel is still expected to be plastic.
What features should we look forward to?
In terms of hardware, the updates may be minimal. Reports suggest the Pixel 10a will ship with the same Tensor G4 processor found in the previous model. That could disappoint some fans, as Google’s in house chips have not kept pace with the top tier processors from competitors like Qualcomm and MediaTek.
The rest of the Pixel 10 lineup has already transitioned to the improved Tensor G5, so it is unusual that Google may skip that upgrade for the A series this generation.
There is one potential upgrade worth noting. The Pixel 10a could support PixelSnap accessories, which would make it compatible with magnetic add ons and even some MagSafe style attachments. That would be a nice quality of life improvement for buyers who enjoy using accessories.
