Pixel 10a Leaks: Official Images Reveal Surprising Blue Color
▼ Summary
– Official-looking images have leaked showing the Google Pixel 10a in an unexpected blue/purple “Indigo”-like color.
– The leak reveals the budget phone’s standard hardware, water resistance, display, and software features like Gemini Live.
– This color is a surprise, as previous leaks suggested options like Obsidian, Fog, Lavender, and Berry, not Indigo.
– The exact color name is uncertain, as the shade differs from both the Pixel 10’s Indigo and typical lighter “Lavender” products.
– A separate, unverified leak from an unknown source may show the “Berry” color, but its authenticity is questionable.
Official images of the upcoming Google Pixel 10a have surfaced online, revealing a potential new color option that wasn’t on the initial roster. The leak showcases the budget-friendly device in a distinctive blue-purple hue that strongly resembles the “Indigo” shade introduced with the standard Pixel 10 last year. This development is unexpected, as earlier information pointed to a color palette consisting of Obsidian (black), Fog (off-white), Lavender (purple), and Berry (red/pink).
The newly leaked photos, shared by a prominent source, present a comprehensive look at the phone’s design. They highlight its hardware build, confirmed water resistance, integration within the Pixel ecosystem, and display quality. Several images also focus on software capabilities, including features like Gemini Live and the convenient “Hold for Me” function within the Phone app. While the overall design appears consistent with expectations, the color choice stands out as the primary point of interest.
This revelation casts some doubt on previous leaks, particularly those describing a “gentle purple” variant. The shade seen in these new images is a deeper, more blue-leaning purple than that description might suggest. Interestingly, it also appears lighter than the marketing visuals for the Pixel 10’s Indigo color. This has led to speculation that this specific tone could still be marketed as “Lavender,” despite the name typically being associated with a paler purple in the consumer electronics space. The discrepancy suggests there may have been some confusion in earlier reports, with Indigo likely being part of the plan all along.
In a separate but less verified development, another leak today purports to show the “Berry” color option for the first time. However, this image comes from an unconfirmed source and should be treated with considerable skepticism. While no obvious signs of manipulation are present, renders of unreleased Pixel ‘a’ series phones often have an unofficial appearance, making authenticity difficult to judge at this stage. The emergence of these images continues to build anticipation for Google’s next affordable handset, with its official launch expected later this year.
