Google is gearing up to launch a new budget smartphone under its Pixel 10 series. The company, via its Made by Google X handle, has officially showcased the design of the upcoming Google Pixel 10a. In the post, Google also revealed that the smartphone will be available for pre-orders starting February 18, 2026. The Pixel 10a is set to arrive with a refreshed design.
Flat camera design marks a major change
According to the 15-second teaser video, the Google Pixel 10a will feature a completely flat camera design. This marks a departure from last year’s Pixel 9a, which had a raised camera bump or lip around the pill-shaped module.
The new design is now perfectly flush with the rear panel, giving the device a cleaner and more minimal look.
Google teases more upgrades
Apart from the design reveal, Google did not share any official details about the smartphone’s specifications. However, the caption on the post read, “A phone with more in store, in store soon,” suggesting that the Pixel 10a could arrive with more meaningful upgrades.
