Google has officially announced the Pixel 10a, confirming a redesigned flat camera system and the start of its global pre-order period. The announcement was made on Wednesday (February 4th) through a short teaser video published under the “Made by Google” brand. Positioned as a mid-range smartphone, the Pixel 10a introduces non-notable design changes to its predecessor and is scheduled to enter pre-orders on February 18.
The 15-second teaser highlights the completely flat dual-camera module that sits flush with the rear panel. This aligns with the design presented for the previous Pixel A-series model (9a) but differs from the looks of the 8a, which featured a raised camera bar. By removing the protrusion, Google has opted for a cleaner and more minimalist aesthetic, integrating the camera system seamlessly into the aluminum-and-glass chassis.
The model shown in the teaser appears in the Iris colorway, a blue-purple tone that suggests Google intends to maintain consistent color options between its flagship and mid-range devices.
While Google has not yet disclosed detailed technical specifications, the official tagline — “A phone with more to offer, coming soon to stores” — points to an emphasis on software-driven features. This likely includes exclusive Pixel functionalities and artificial intelligence enhancements, which have become central to Google’s mobile strategy. The decision to retain a flagship-inspired exterior further signals an effort to elevate the perceived value of the A-series within the competitive mid-range segment.
Recently, the Pixel 10a has been the subject of multiple leaks, providing insight into what consumers can expect ahead of its launch. Although official confirmation of hardware details is still pending, the combination of a refreshed design and Google’s established focus on AI-powered experiences positions the Pixel 10a as a key addition to the company’s 2025 smartphone lineup.
