On the camera front, the Pixel 10a is expected to include a 48 megapixel primary sensor along with a 13 megapixel ultra wide lens. For selfies and video calls, a 13 megapixel front camera is likely to be included.
Battery capacity is tipped at 5100mAh, with support for both wired fast charging and wireless charging. Google is also expected to include an in display fingerprint sensor for biometric security.
The phone is said to run on Android 16 out of the box and will receive seven years of operating system and security updates, continuing Google’s long term software support promise. An IP68 rating for dust and water resistance is also expected.
Pricing is rumored to be around 500 dollars, which roughly translates to Rs 45200. With strong software support, refined design, and reliable hardware, the Pixel 10a is shaping up to be a solid option in the premium mid range segment.
