Now, thanks to a new leak, we\u2019re getting our first glimpse at what the Pixel 10a might actually look like when it arrives on store shelves.<\/p>\n<p>The folks at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidheadlines.com\/google-pixel-10a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Android Headlines<\/a> partnered with OnLeaks to deliver renders of the Pixel 10a, set to launch sometime in early 2026. From these images alone, the device seems practically identical to its predecessor, save for the theoretical Pixel 10-esque blue shade used to illustrate the device here. Don\u2019t get too excited about this shade \u2014 we\u2019ll need to wait for further leaks down the road to learn what colors Google actually has planned for its next mid-range Pixel.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"576\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/pixel10a-leak-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-693919\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>The decision to keep the Pixel 10a\u2019s look and feel unchanged from the Pixel 9a\u2019s is bound to be controversial. While I\u2019m a big fan of the lack of a camera bar \u2014 if it\u2019s unnecessary, why add something that doesn\u2019t need to be there? \u2014 it does make the device look more generic than any of Google\u2019s other smartphones. While the oval-shaped camera module helps it blend in with the rest of its family, it\u2019s lacking in the brand identity that plenty of users have grown to love. I\u2019ll be curious to see how fans react to another generation of this design.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from these renders, the other big piece of information in this leak is the device\u2019s dimensions. At 153.9 x 72.9 x 9mm, this is yet another example of Google changing its dimensions just enough to require new accessories. The Pixel 9a is under a millimeter taller and wider than the 10a, as well as 0.1mm thinner. Hopefully, these measurement changes come with a bright side, like PixelSnap support or slimmer bezels. The device also swaps to a 6.2-inch display rather than the 6.3-inch panel used on the Pixel 9a.<\/p>\n<p>\tAdvertisement &#8211; scroll for more content<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"576\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/pixel10a-leak-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-693920\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>Rumors continue to swirl that <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/2025\/09\/01\/new-evidence-suggests-pixel-10a-will-use-tensor-g4-instead-of-pixel-10s-tensor-g5\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google is breaking its A-series tradition<\/a> of utilizing identical (or near-identical) chipsets as its flagship collection. It sounds like the Pixel 10a will once again be powered by the Tensor G4, rather than the TSMC-manufactured Tensor G5 found in the Pixel 10, in order to save on costs. Android Headlines suggests this could be a higher clocked iteration of what shipped in the Pixel 9a this year, but we\u2019ll have to wait for a real announcement \u2014 or further leaks \u2014 to find out.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https:\/\/9to5google.com\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"google-preferred-source-badge-dark\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/google-preferred-source-badge-dark.png\" alt=\"Add 9to5Google as a preferred source on Google\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"google-preferred-source-badge-light\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/google-preferred-source-badge-light.png\" alt=\"Add 9to5Google as a preferred source on Google\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"disclaimer-affiliate\">FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links. <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/about\/#affiliate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">More.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/43RjEnY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-692991\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/imazing-banner.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"140\"\/><\/a>\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We\u2019ve known for a while now that Google is working on a successor to this year\u2019s excellent Pixel&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":533872,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3159],"tags":[547,53,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-533871","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mobile","8":"tag-mobile","9":"tag-technology","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115453401243220049","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/533871","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=533871"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/533871\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/533872"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=533871"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=533871"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=533871"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
