Google’s upcoming Pixel 10a has leaked extensively ahead of its official unveiling scheduled for February 18. While speculation suggests the device could be little more than a refreshed version of its predecessor, new images and certifications continue to surface online, revealing key details about the smartphone.
Recent leaks confirm that the Google Pixel 10a has received its EU Energy Label certification. According to the listing, the device will feature IP68 dust and water resistance, offering strong protection against environmental elements. The label also grants the phone an “A” rating for drop resistance and a “B” rating for repairability, highlighting improved durability and serviceability.
Battery performance details have also been revealed. The Pixel 10a is reportedly capable of maintaining over 80% of its original battery capacity even after 1,000 charging cycles. This suggests long-term reliability, particularly for users planning to keep their device for several years.
Freshly leaked renders showcase the phone in multiple color options, including Berry, Fog, Lavender, and Obsidian. The design appears nearly identical to the Google Pixel 9a, reinforcing rumors that the Pixel 10a may not bring significant visual changes. The familiar camera bar and overall body shape remain consistent with last year’s model.
In terms of specifications, most reports indicate that the hardware could remain largely unchanged. However, there is still speculation that Google might equip the device with the newer Tensor G5 chipset. If that upgrade does not materialize, the Pixel 10a could essentially be a rebranded Pixel 9a with refreshed color options.
Such a strategy may seem unusual, but considering the limited competition in the North American mid-range Android market, Google may not feel pressured to introduce major upgrades. With its February 18 launch date approaching, all official details about the Pixel 10a’s pricing, chipset, and features are expected to be confirmed soon.
