Google’s Pixel 10A will debut on Feb. 18, with the company confirming the announcement via a YouTube video posted Wednesday. This marks a much earlier debut for Google’s lower-cost Pixel series, and likely means the phone will arrive just ahead of Samsung’s Galaxy S26 line.
The less-expensive A series — historically released in the spring or summer — has been the subject of several recent rumors, including the possibility that it will be a very close match to last year’s $499 Pixel 9A.
Before Google confirmed the release date, WinFuture’s Roland Quandt posted on BlueSky that the phone could arrive as early as mid-February. Quandt also listed four device colors: obsidian, berry, fog and lavender. Google’s teaser video appears to show the lavender model and shows that the 10A will retain the minimal camera bump seen on the 9A.
The Pixel 10A could be unique in that it wouldn’t share key specs, such as the processor, with Google’s $799 Pixel 10. It might instead use a “boosted” version of the Tensor G4 processor last seen in the Pixel 9 line.
We’re rounding up the rumors as they come. We’ll continue to update this live blog as we learn more about the device.
