Google is reportedly sticking to its design strategy with the forthcoming Pixel 10a, keeping the “floating” pill-shaped camera module found in its predecessor, the Pixel 9a. Recent leaks, including official CAD illustrations, show that the Pixel 10a will sport a design akin to the Pixel 9a, featuring a seamless back panel and a pill-shaped camera module that accommodates two lenses and a flash. The device is expected to come with a 6.2-inch screen with slightly narrower bezels and will preserve the same button arrangement as the Pixel 9a.
The Pixel 10a is projected to be unveiled in March 2026, with a price tag around $499, positioning it as a budget-friendly option in Google’s range. It may come equipped with a somewhat less powerful Tensor G4 chip in comparison to the top-tier Tensor G5 in the Pixel 10 series. Despite some design critiques of the Pixel 9a, Google seems to be persisting with this design philosophy, emphasizing affordability and ensuring a cohesive aesthetic across its budget offerings.
