Goodbye, digicam bump? That seems to be what Google is suggesting in a preview for the Pixel 10a cellphone launching on Feb. 18.
In typical Google trend, the corporate simply randomly dropped a video on YouTube saying its subsequent midrange Android cellphone. The 15-second preview reveals the Pixel 10a off in full, leaving nothing to the creativeness. Because the successor to the Pixel 9a, the Pixel 10a needs to be priced equally at round $500 (it’s at the moment available for $400 direct from Google).
Don’t count on too many beauty variations between the Pixel 10a and the Pixel 9a. The one main visible change may be that even flatter—possibly flush?!—digicam bump? The Pixel 9a had an almost flat bump, however the Pixel 10a would possibly really haven’t any bump in any respect? You inform me what you assume based mostly on these screenshots.


As for specs, the Pixel 10a will seemingly be a watered-down model of the Pixel 10, the identical method the Pixel 9a was to the Pixel 9. Leaks have suggested the Pixel 10a would possibly stick to the Tensor G4 chip that was within the Pixel 9 sequence as an alternative of utilizing the Tensor G5 chip discovered within the Pixel 10, 10 Pro/10 Pro XL, and 10 Pro Fold. RAM and storage configurations may additionally are available in the identical 8GB RAM + 128GB storage and 12GB RAM + 256GB storage because the Pixel 9a. Nonetheless, the ongoing memory and flash storage shortage, which has been driving up costs throughout all shopper electronics that require these parts, may have an effect on what number of fashions Google launches with.
It’d be nice to see some sort of bump as much as the Pixel 9a’s dual-lens digicam system. The Pixel 9a has a 48-megapixel essential and 13-megapixel ultrawide. An improve to the Pixel 9’s 50-megapixel essential and 48-megapixel ultrawide could be welcome. I don’t have my hopes up, although, for the reason that Pixel 10 really bought a downgrade to the Pixel 9a’s lower-resolution cameras.
As an alternative of {hardware}, Google will almost definitely focus the Pixel 10a’s mesaging round affordability and Gemini. AI options like “Magic Cue,” which suggests data or actions inside choose Google apps, and “Assist me edit,” which makes use of Gemini to edit photographs with solely a textual content immediate, have been massive promoting factors for the Pixel 10 sequence final 12 months. Count on to see the Pixel 10a pushed as extra of an “AI cellphone” that helps you get extra issues performed (and faster) than one more reasonably priced midrange Android cellphone.
