Google Pixel 10a video ad leaks hours before the official unveiling

Google is finally making the oft-leaked Google Pixel 10a fully official on February 18, but a French ad has already spoiled the surprise mere hours before the event. The video gives us a clear look at the device and highlights a few key features ahead of the release.

The ad puts AI photo features front and center, followed by a claim of "30 h" battery life and a showcase of the available colors. Most interestingly, the clip mentions a reduced price for the device. This likely means you are getting high-end features for less money, but it would be interesting if the phone actually costs less than its predecessor.
European retailer Vanden Borre also dropped some details early, revealing that the Google Pixel 10a will feature a 6.3-inch Actua display with a 120 Hz refresh rate. The listing indicates the phone will retain last year's Tensor G4 processor, while the rest of the Pixel 10 series moves to the newer Tensor G5 chipset.
The cameras also appear to be unchanged as well, even though marketing materials highlight a new flat camera housing. It looks like Google is focusing on design tweaks rather than a massive hardware overhaul for this model. Everything will be official very soon, so keep an eye out for the full details.
