Google Pixel 10a Leaks

Tipster MysticLeaks shared key specifications of the upcoming Pixel 10a on his Telegram channel. According to the leak, the Pixel 10a will be powered by Google’s Tensor G4 chipset from last year. To recall, the same chipset powered the entire Pixel 9 series and even the affordable Pixel 9a. Google usually launches the Pixel a-series phones with the same chipset as its flagship counterparts, while still offering an affordable alternative.

The leak also suggests that the Google Pixel 10a will offer the same UFS 3.1 technology for storage as it did with Pixel 9a. In terms of display, the upcoming device is said to deliver up to 2,000 nits of peak brightness. The Pixel 10a is said to come with a dual camera setup – another recycled spec from the previous generation.

The leakster further claims that Pixel 10a might not get Google’s Magic Cue tool. This AI-enabled feature was introduced with the newly launched Pixel 10 series. It uses AI on your Pixel phone to instantly surface relevant info from your apps, emails, and more – right when you need it.

Google announced the Pixel 9a in March last year and made it available the following month. It features a 6.3-inch full-HD+ (1,080 x 2,424 pixels) Actua pOLED screen with up to 120Hz adaptive refresh rate. The Pixel 9a is powered by Google’s Tensor G4 chip.

For photography, the Pixel 9a gets a dual rear camera setup with a 48MP main sensor and a 13MP ultra-wide shooter. It houses a 13MP camera on the front for selfies and video calls.
