Google Pixel: Latest rumours throw cold water on cheaper pricing and February release for new smartphone
The existence and features of the Pixel 10a have been speculated about since the beginning of last year. With the first anniversary of the Pixel 9a almost upon us (curr. $439.95 on Amazon), it should come as no surprise to see more details about its successor emerge in various leaks.
Less than a week ago, Android Headlines shared a first true look at the Pixel 10a. Reproduced below, the image emphasises that Google's next mid-range smartphone may be hard to discern from its current offering. To that end, a 5,100 mAh battery and a Tensor G4 chipset are set to return, as is a 6.3-inch AMOLED display complemented by 48 MP primary (f/1.7), 13 MP ultra-wide-angle (f/2.2) and 13 MP (f/2.2) front-facing cameras.
According to billbil-kun, Eurozone prices could be slightly higher than recent Arsène Lupin suggestions. Specifically, the former reports that the Pixel 10a will reach the Eurozone for €549 or €649 for those wanting 256 GB storage. While €50 more than Arsène Lupin claimed, these prices would represent no price change between generations.
At the same time, billbil-kun claims that Google will not begin shipping the Pixel 10a until early March, with March 5 apparently set as an official release date. Nonetheless, both billbil-kun and Evan Blass anticipate that Pixel 10a pre-orders will open on February 18 with Berry, Fog, Lavender and Obsidian colour options to choose from.
