Pixel 10a leaks suggest Tensor G4, two rear cameras, 2026 launch

CAD-based renders and early specification leaks for Google's next midrange phone, the Pixel 10a, have circulated online, showing a device that closely resembles last year’s Pixel 9a and suggesting a launch in early 2026. The images and accompanying details indicate minimal design change, modest internal upgrades, and a continuation of Google’s strategy of offering long software support for lower-cost hardware.

The renders depict a handset with flat sides, a plastic back and a flush dual-camera array rather than a protruding camera bar. Reported dimensions put the phone at about 153.9 x 72.9 x 9 millimeters, marginally smaller and slightly thicker than the Pixel 9a, and it is shown with a 6.2-inch display, compared with the 6.3-inch panel on its predecessor. The front bezels appear thinner in the renders, though some caveats accompany that detail in the early imagery.

Leaked specifications suggest Google may equip the Pixel 10a with a version of the Tensor G4 system-on-chip rather than the newer Tensor G5 used in the current Pixel 10 base model. That G4 variant is said to run at higher clock speeds than the previous iteration, a choice that would reduce costs while preserving...
