Patient shoppers won't wait much longer for the Google Pixel 10a. A fresh rumor suggests a mid-February release, bringing the budget-friendly device to stores within weeks. The leak also reveals four distinct colorways—Obsidian, Berry, Fog, and Lavender—alongside standard 128GB and 256GB storage configurations.

Rumored specs paint a picture of a solid mid-ranger: a 6.28-inch AMOLED screen with 120Hz refresh rate, a 48MP main camera, and a large 5,100 mAh battery. With 8GB of RAM, the phone seems set to handle daily tasks with ease, though the processor remains a mystery.

The big question is whether Google will stick with the Tensor G4 or surprise us with a custom G5. If the hardware is simply a color refresh of the Pixel 9a, Google will rely heavily on pricing to compete in the crowded budget market.
