Google Pixel 10a India launch today: Google is all set to launch the Google Pixel 10a today, February 18, in global markets, including India. The tech giant has been teasing the Pixel 10a as “the most durable Google Pixel A-Series yet,” hinting at improvements in its budget lineup.
The Pixel 10a is expected to be a modest upgrade over the Pixel 9a, and leaked specifications suggest that this may indeed be the case. Meanwhile, Google has shared official teasers highlighting design changes through visuals of the new model, which is set to roll out this week. However, the company is unlikely to host a dedicated launch event and may introduce the smartphone through a press release instead.
The Google Pixel 10a is expected to ship with Android 16 out of the box, along with support for the Android 17 beta. It is also likely to receive seven years of OS and security updates from the company.

The Pixel 10a is expected to feature a 6.3-inch OLED display protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 7i. The smartphone is also tipped to support Bluetooth 6 connectivity, offering an upgrade over the previous generation.

Under the hood, Google is expected to power the device with the same Tensor G4 chipset, paired with 8GB RAM and storage options of 128GB and 256GB. There are currently no indications of a 512GB variant this year. In terms of optics, the Pixel 10a is once again likely to feature a 48MP main camera along with a 13MP ultra-wide lens.
