The phone is tipped to include a dual rear camera setup once again. The leaked specs point to a 48MP main camera with f/1.7 aperture and a 13MP ultrawide camera with a 119.7-degree field of view. For selfies and video calls, the Pixel 10a is expected to feature a 13MP front-facing camera.

The device is also tipped to come with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. According to the listing, Google may equip the phone with a 5,100mAh battery, which is slightly larger than the one on the Pixel 9a and could help improve battery life in daily use. Connectivity options reportedly include 5G and LTE Cat 19 support.

Recent renders of the Pixel 10a point to a design similar to the Pixel 9a, with Google’s familiar camera bar on the back. The device is also rumoured to run on Google’s in-house Tensor G4 chipset, continuing the company’s move toward uniform silicon across its lineup. The display may also support up to 2,000 nits peak brightness.

Pixel 10a Price (Expected)

The Pixel 10a is expected to start at around $499 (roughly Rs 45,000) for the base 128GB variant, keeping it in line with Google’s mid-range pricing strategy.
