A few hours away from the new leak images – which revealed a Valentines Day-appropriate colorway – we return to talking about the upcoming Google Pixel 10a. The American company has finally pulled back the curtain on the device, confirming both the design and the official presentation date.
Pixel 10a, official presentation date: Google’s new affordable flagship arrives in February
The Pixel 10a launch is set for February 18: this is a date already teased by prior rumors and well ahead of the predecessor’s timeline (launched last March, with sales starting in April 2025).
The phone’s specifications and aesthetic details have been known for some time: the newcomer follows the Pixel 9a’s characteristics, but updates the appearance with new color options. The chipset disappointment is notable, as the phone is expected to feature the Tensor G4; therefore the new Tensor G5 will be limited to the higher-end members of the Pixel 10 series, a break with the past.
Awaiting the launch event, here is an overview of the technical specifications leaked so far although, as usual, the final word remains with Google.
