- Leaked Google Pixel 10a renders show that it looks almost identical to the Pixel 9a
- It may also have similar specs, but a “boosted” chipset
- The price could also remain the same
So far we haven’t heard much about Google Pixel 10a rumors, but the biggest leak yet has just surfaced as both renders and possible specs have now been shared.
Android Headlines and @OnLeaks – a leaker with a stellar track record – have shown renders of a phone that looks a lot like the Google Pixel 9a, but is apparently the Pixel 10a. It has the same elongated camera block, the same general shape and the same positions for ports and buttons as its predecessor.
Unfortunately, that’s not a good thing, as our Google Pixel 9a review described that phone as “ugly as sin.” It’s somewhat subjective, of course, but it certainly lacks the distinct design of the main Pixel models.
The only visual aspect that appears to be an upgrade is the edges, where the Google Pixel 10a’s bezels look smaller here. However, in a post on X, @OnLeaks claimed that the phone’s actual bezels will be slightly larger than pictured, so even those may not be improved.

The Google Pixel 10a could also be marginally thicker than its predecessor, with dimensions rumored to be 153.9 x 72.9 x 9mm, and it may have a slightly smaller 6.2-inch display (down from the 6.3-inch Pixel 9a).
It will also apparently have the same Tensor G4 chipset as the Pixel 9a, albeit a “boosted” version, which likely means higher clock speeds. The cameras will also reportedly remain the same, meaning a 48MP wide camera, a 13MP ultra-wide and a 13MP front-facing camera.
A minor refresher
So what’s actually improved, apart from the Pixel 10a perhaps having a marginal performance boost? Well, this leak speculates that the phone’s seemingly slightly thicker build could facilitate a higher-capacity battery than the 5,100mAh cell in its predecessor, and a previous leak suggested that its screen might be slightly brighter as well, but that’s apparently about it.
The good news is that the Google Pixel 10a will apparently cost no more than its predecessor, with a starting price of $499 for a model with 128GB of storage. It’s not clear whether or not other storage capacities will be available, though, and prices for other regions haven’t been leaked either – but if it’s the same as the Pixel 9a, you’ll be looking at £499 / AU$849.
We should find out soon, as this leak speculates that the phone will land in early 2026. Even if the other details in this leak are accurate, it might not be worth the wait.
