The highly anticipated Google Pixel 10a has been officially teased, with the company confirming that pre-orders will begin on February 18, 2026. While Google has not yet announced the full details, early information and leaks point to a familiar but refined package for its popular mid-range phone.

In terms of Google Pixel 10a specs, the device is expected to be a very iterative update. It will likely retain the core formula that made its predecessor successful, including a 6.3-inch 120Hz display, a dual-camera system, and a large battery. However, it won't be a complete overhaul. The phone is rumored to be powered by a version of the Tensor G4 chip, not the latest Tensor G5 found in the flagship Pixel 10, positioning it clearly as the more affordable option in the lineup.

Key Google Pixel 10a features will include Google's excellent computational photography, clean Android software with long-term update promises, and a practical design. The new model shows a subtle but noticeable visual change with a completely flat rear camera bar, moving away from the raised lip seen on the Pixel 9a. It will also launch in new, deeper color options.

As for the Google Pixel 10a price, it is expected to remain competitive, likely starting close to the $499 launch price of the Pixel 9a. The official Google Pixel 10a release date for general sales is still to be confirmed but is expected to follow shortly after the pre-order window opens in mid-February, likely in March or April 2026.
