Google was not expected to deviate by a significant margin from the design language of the Pixel 9a for its Pixel 10a smartphone. Even so, the leaked specs of the upcoming budget offering from Google are now painting a picture of utter inertia, with nary a change apparently in the offing.
Pixel 10a specs show a Pixel 9a clone
Now, Evan Blass, a known tipster, has posted a screenshot of the Pixel 10a's certification for operating on Verizon's network. The screenshot also details some of the specs of the upcoming budget offering, which include:
- A 6.285-inch FHD+ AMOLED screen, with a refresh rate of up to 120Hz
- 8GB of RAM, 128GB of base storage
- A 5,100mAh battery
We already know of some additional specs of the Pixel 10a from prior leaks:
- Dimensions of 153.9 x 72.9 x 9mm
- A Tensor G4 SoC, which is the same one used in the Pixel 9a, albeit with a higher clock speed
- MSRP of around $499
- A spring 2026 launch
These specs are almost identical to the Pixel 9a's and resemble the budget offering's overall borrowed design language from its previous-gen sibling:
- A thick-bezeled, plastic-back design for the Pixel 10a.
- The camera bar on the back houses a dual-camera setup.
- The Volume key is still located below the power key.
- Antenna lines remain visible from lateral angles.
- Symmetrical placement of the speaker and microphone voids at the bottom.
As we noted previously, the Pixel 9a is likely to become an immediate bargain upon the launch of the Pixel 10a, creating a sizable demand influx for the older-gen model. On the positive side, Google is expected to adhere to its traditionally strong Pixel selling points, including 7 years of software support.
