Google’s A-series Pixel phones have always been aimed at users who want the core Pixel experience without paying flagship prices. These models typically retain Google’s well-known camera quality, clean Android software, and AI features, while cutting costs through simpler materials and slightly toned-down hardware. And if you’ve been waiting for the next affordable Pixel, a new leak suggests the Google Pixel 10a may be launching sooner than expected.
The information comes from Billbil-kun, a reliable leaker known for accurately revealing release dates, pricing, and configurations ahead of official announcements. According to the latest details shared, Google has already finalized the Pixel 10a’s launch schedule, along with its storage options, color choices, and pricing, at least for the European market.
What we know about the Pixel 10a so far, according to this leak
Starting with configurations, the Pixel 10a is expected to launch in two storage variants: 128GB and 256GB. Both models will reportedly ship with 8GB of RAM, meaning Google is not offering a higher-memory option this time around. Aside from that, it will reportedly boast a 6.2″ FHD plastic AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Plus, it will pack a 5,100mAH battery.

In terms of design options, the Pixel 10a is said to come in four colors: Obsidian, Fog, Lavender, and Berry. Unlike earlier rumors that suggested some colors might be limited to specific storage tiers, the leak claims that all four colors will be available for both the 128GB and 256GB versions.
As far as the pricing is concerned, Google is not planning to raise prices compared to the Pixel 9a, at least in Europe. The leaked prices place the 128GB model at €549, while the 256GB version is listed at €649. At a time when smartphone prices are steadily increasing across most brands, keeping prices flat could make the Pixel 10a an attractive option in the mid-range segment.
The release timeline also appears to be locked in. The Pixel 10a is reportedly scheduled to launch on March 5, 2026. Ahead of that, Google is expected to open pre-orders on February 18, 2026, around 6 PM French time (CEST).
