Google Pixel 10a Appears In First Official Teaser With Pre-Order Date Set

Google Pixel 10a has finally stepped out of the rumor cycle and into official view, albeit briefly. After months of leaks, renders, and online debate, Google has released a short teaser that confirms the device’s existence and gives the public its first clear look at the next A-series phone.

The video does not serve as a full unveiling. Instead, it feels deliberate and restrained, offering just enough to signal that the launch is close. Google confirmed that the Pixel 10a will open for pre-orders on February 18, with the full announcement expected roughly two weeks after the teaser’s release.

What stands out immediately is the design. The Pixel 10a stays close to the visual identity of the Pixel 9a, continuing Google’s preference for consistency across its mid-range lineup. The biggest change is on the back, where the dual-camera module now sits completely flat against the body. Last year’s pill-shaped camera bump is gone, giving the phone a cleaner and more uniform profile.

The teaser also quietly introduces at least one new color. The unit shown appears in a blue-purple shade that closely resembles the Iris finish used on the Pixel 9a and the Indigo color seen on the standard Pixel 10. The background of the video hints at another tone, suggesting that Google may once again lean into brighter color options for its budget-friendly devices.

Beyond appearance, Google remains tight-lipped. No specifications, pricing details, or performance claims were included. The video’s tagline, “A phone with more in store, in store soon,” offers little concrete information, though it has sparked discussion about whether storage options may be expanding for the A-series.

Unsurprisingly, unofficial information continues to circulate. Previous leaks have claimed the Pixel 10a could feature a 6.3-inch display with a 120Hz refresh rate, a Tensor G4 processor, a 5100mAh battery, and a 48-megapixel main camera. Google has not confirmed any of these details, and they remain unverified ahead of the official presentation.

For now, the Pixel 10a appears positioned as an incremental update rather than a bold redesign. That approach has long defined Google’s A-series strategy, focusing on refinement rather than reinvention. The teaser suggests the company is comfortable staying that course as it prepares to reveal the full picture later this month.
