New details have surfaced regarding Google’s upcoming budget-friendly smartphone, suggesting a specific launch window and potential pricing for European markets. According to a prominent leaker, the Pixel 10a could be unveiled on February 17, with listings pointing to a more affordable price tag compared to its predecessor.
The information, shared by tipster @MysteryLupin, cites unnamed retailer sources. This timeline aligns with earlier reports pointing to a mid-February release. Alongside the date, the leaker provided specific European pricing estimates. The 128GB model of the Pixel 10a is expected to retail for approximately €500, which converts to around $582. For those needing more storage, the 256GB variant could cost roughly €600, or about $699.
If these figures prove accurate, it represents a notable price drop from the Pixel 9a’s European launch prices, which started at €549 for the 128GB model. This potential reduction would be a welcome development for consumers, though it remains to be seen if similar pricing will apply in other major regions like the United States and the United Kingdom.
The leak also offers a glimpse at color options. The 128GB version may launch in four hues: Obsidian, Berry, Lavender, and Fog. However, the higher-capacity 256GB model might be more limited, reportedly available only in Obsidian initially. It is unclear whether other markets will receive additional color choices for that storage tier. Additionally, official protective cases for the device are expected to be priced around €20.
These latest rumors build upon earlier specifications leaks for the Pixel 10a. The device is anticipated to be powered by Google’s Tensor G4 chipset, mirroring the Pixel 9a, and paired with 8GB of RAM. Battery life could see an improvement with a speculated 5,100mAh capacity. For photography, a dual-camera system on the back is expected, featuring a 48MP main sensor alongside a 13MP ultra-wide lens, with a 13MP front-facing camera for selfies. These specs indicate the new model will share significant DNA with the previous generation, potentially offering refined performance at a more accessible price point.
