Google Pixel 10a launching soon in India: Design, expected price and top features explained
Google has officially teased the Pixel 10a ahead of its India launch, confirming a cleaner design, improved durability, and familiar Pixel strengths with a few subtle upgrades. Here is a look at the expected price, specs and top features.
Google has finally given fans a proper look at the Pixel 10a, and the first impression is all about refinement rather than reinvention. In a short teaser video released on Wednesday, the company officially confirmed the phone’s design, putting an end to months of leaks and renders. While Google has kept most details under wraps for now, the teaser and subsequent announcements confirm that the Pixel 10a is arriving soon, and India is firmly part of the plan.
A familiar Pixel look, now cleaner
At first glance, the Pixel 10a looks reassuringly familiar. Google hasn’t tried to fix what wasn’t broken. The phone sticks closely to the Pixel 9a's design language, but there is a small tweak that stands out the moment you notice it. The dual rear camera setup now sits completely flat against the back panel. Last year’s Pixel 9a already reduced the camera bump significantly, but the Pixel 10a goes a step further, removing even that slight protrusion.
The horizontal, pill-shaped camera island is still there, along with a single LED flash, but the flush finish gives the phone a neater and more polished look. The teaser video, which runs for just 15 seconds, focuses almost entirely on this design detail, with a smooth transition from the Google logo to the camera module.
Google showed the Pixel 10a in a blue shade that looks very similar to the Iris colour from the previous generation. However, subtle hints in the background suggest that more colour options are on the way.
Launch date and India availability confirmed
Google has confirmed that the Pixel 10a will launch on February 18 in India as well as global markets. This makes it the direct successor to the Pixel 9a, which debuted in March 2025. While pricing details are still being kept under wraps, Google is already trying to build some early excitement.
Google Store subscribers who sign up for information about the Pixel 10a by February 13, 1:29PM IST, will be eligible for an exclusive offer. According to the company, this benefit can be applied to a future order after purchasing the Pixel 10a, though the exact nature of the offer hasn’t been disclosed yet.
Durability and camera upgrades teased
Along with the design, Google has dropped a few hints about what to expect from the Pixel 10a. The company is calling it the “most durable Google Pixel A-Series yet,” which strongly points towards improved dust and water resistance. Leaks back this up, suggesting an IP68 rating, a notable upgrade for the A-series lineup.
Photography is another area Google is teasing. While no camera specs were officially revealed during the announcement, the brand has promised improved imaging performance. As expected, Gemini will also be built into the phone, continuing Google’s push to make AI a core part of the Pixel experience.
Expected specifications based on leaks
Although Google hasn’t shared the full spec sheet yet, leaks have painted a fairly clear picture. The Pixel 10a is expected to feature a 6.285-inch FHD+ OLED HDR display with a 120Hz refresh rate and up to 2,000 nits of HDR brightness, slightly higher than what the Pixel 9a offered.
Under the hood, the phone is tipped to run on the Tensor G4 processor, paired with the Titan M2 security chip. This suggests Google is prioritising stability and efficiency over jumping to a newer chipset. The Pixel 10a is expected to come with 8GB of LPDDR5X RAM and offer 128GB and 256GB storage options using UFS 3.1.
On the camera front, leaks point to a 48MP main sensor with optical image stabilisation and a 13MP ultra-wide camera, along with a 13MP front camera capable of 4K video recording. A 5,100mAh battery with wired and wireless charging is also expected.
Expected price and colour options
In terms of pricing, reports suggest the Pixel 10a could start at EUR 549 for the 128GB variant in Europe, with the 256GB model going up to EUR 649. Converted directly, this roughly translates to Rs 58,000 and Rs 69,000, respectively, though Indian pricing could differ. Since the Pixel 9a was launched in India at Rs 49,999. Google is expected to offer its successor in the similar price range in India.
As for colours, the Pixel 10a is rumoured to arrive in Berry, Fog, Lavender, and Obsidian, alongside the blue shade seen in the teaser. With the launch now just days away, Google won’t be able to keep the remaining details secret for much longer.
