- Google has announced that the Pixel 10a will launch on February 18
- The company has also shown off the phone from the back, and it looks a lot like the Pixel 9a
- The Pixel 9a is currently heavily reduced, so might be a better buy
We’re now almost a year on from the launch of the Google Pixel 9a, so it’s about time we got the Pixel 10a, and Google seemingly agrees, because the company has announced that the Pixel 10a will be launching on February 18.
The announcement was made on the Pixel store, X, and in a brief YouTube video, which between them also give you a good look at the Pixel 10a from the back.
You can see that it has a very similar design to the Google Pixel 9a, complete with a dual-lens camera, and it’s shown here in a blue shade, though other colors will almost certainly be available too.
We know that pre-orders will open on February 18, and while nothing else has yet been confirmed about the Google Pixel 10a, rumors suggest it could have a 48MP main camera, a 13MP ultra-wide one, a 13MP selfie camera, 8GB of RAM, a 6.3-inch 120Hz FHD+ AMOLED screen, a Tensor G4 chipset, and a 5,100mAh battery.

Sounding similar
Those specs are more or identical to those of the Pixel 9a, so it’s sounding like this might not be much of an upgrade, and as such, you might want to consider just buying a Pixel 9a instead.
Not only is there no wait for that, but right now it’s heavily discounted, with Google selling it for $399 / £349, down from its standard price of $499 / £499 – though sadly there’s no such discount in Australia, where it still starts at AU$849.
Of course, these specs leaks could be incorrect, and even if they’re accurate some things will likely be upgraded this year, but assuming the Pixel 10a costs at least the $499 / £499 / AU$849 that the Pixel 9a launched at, it might struggle to justify the price while the Pixel 9a is available for far less.
