Google has confirmed a Pixel 10a launch on February 18, and now a detail list of the phone’s specs have leaked, showing exactly how it differs – and how it doesn’t – from the Pixel 9a.
WinFuture reports that the Pixel 10a, supposedly priced at €499 in Europe, will deliver just a few improvements over the prior Pixel 9a.
That starts with new cover glass over the display, with Gorilla Glass 7i (introduced in 2024) on the Pixel 10a replacing Gorilla Glass 3. That older cover glass is tried and true, but it’s a very overdue upgrade as Gorilla Glass 3 has been used on ever A-Series Pixel phone since the Pixel 4a.
Aside from that, Pixel 10a appears to be getting Bluetooth 6.0, support for satellite comms, and faster 45W charging. That charging spec seems suspicious, as even the Pixel 10 only supports up to 30W speeds – take that one with a grain of salt. The Pixel 10a also looks to be a bit thicker while having a smaller overall footprint, and weighs a tiny bit less.
Overall, a very minor update as expected, at least based on this leak.
