Google Pixel 10a: What to expect
Recent reports shed light on Google’s upcoming Pixel 10a, particularly around its colour options and core hardware. According to multiple reports, the Pixel 10a is expected to launch in four shades: Lavender, Obsidian, Berry, and Fog. This palette marks a clear shift from the Pixel 9a, which was offered in Iris, Obsidian, Peony, and Porcelain, suggesting Google is refreshing the lineup visually even if the overall design remains familiar.
Beyond the new colours, the Pixel 10a is set to look almost identical to its predecessor. The smartphone might be powered by the same Tensor G4 chipset found in the Pixel 9a, rather than the newer Tensor G5 that debuted with the Pixel 10 series.
According to a report by GSMArena, in terms of memory and storage, the Pixel 10a will likely feature 8GB of RAM, paired with either 128GB or 256GB of internal storage, depending on the variant. On the front, the device is said to sport a 6.3-inch OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, as seen in Pixel 10a. Powering the phone could be a 5,100mAh battery, with support for 23W wired charging, similar to its predecessor.
