- Google has announced that the Pixel 10a will launch on February 18
- The company also showed off the phone from the back, and it looks a lot like the Pixel 9a.
- The Pixel 9a is currently at a greatly reduced price, so it could be a better buy
We’re almost a year after the launch of the Google Pixel 9a, so it’s about time we got the Pixel 10a, and Google apparently agrees, because the company announced that the Pixel 10a will launch on February 18.
The announcement was made in the Pixel store, X, and in a short YouTube video, which between them also gives a good look at the Pixel 10a from behind.
You can see that it has a very similar design to the Google Pixel 9a, complete with a dual-lens camera, and is shown here in a blue hue, although other colors will almost certainly be available as well.
We know that pre-orders will open on February 18, and while nothing else has been confirmed about the Google Pixel 10a yet, rumors suggest that it could have a 48MP main camera, a 13MP ultra-wide-angle camera, a 13MP selfie camera, 8GB of RAM, a 6.3-inch 120Hz FHD+ AMOLED display, a Tensor G4 chipset, and a 5,100mAh battery.
Look
Sounds similar
Those specs are more or less identical to the Pixel 9a, so it seems like this might not be much of an upgrade, and as such, you might want to consider purchasing a Pixel 9a.
Not only is there no wait for it, but it’s heavily discounted right now: Google is selling it for $399/£349, down from its standard price of $499/£499, although sadly there’s no such discount in Australia, where it still starts at AU$849.
Of course, these spec leaks could be wrong, and even if they’re accurate, some things will probably be updated this year, but assuming the Pixel 10a costs at least the $499 / £499 / AU$849 that the Pixel 9a launched at, you might struggle to justify the price, while the Pixel 9a is available for much less.
