The Google Pixel 9a<\/a> is one of Google’s most affordable Pixel phones<\/a>, and it includes one of the most frequently requested colors — bright pink. With the Google Pixel 10a rumored to launch in\u00a0February<\/a>, we’re already getting a hint at the colors the new model will come in.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to\u00a0Roland Quandt<\/a>, a regular mobile leaker on Bluesky, the Google Pixel is expected to be offered in obsidian (black), berry (pink), fog (light gray), and lavender colors. However, it’s the berry hue that is intriguing customers.<\/p>\n

A representative for Google did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n

“I always love to see phones come in vibrant colors, and it’s especially welcome in more budget-friendly options,” said Abrar Al-Heeti, senior technology reporter at CNET. “Yes, we tend to slap a case on our phones anyway, but just knowing your phone touts a bold color can make it feel like more of a statement piece, rather than a bland piece of tech.”<\/p>\n

Pink is one of the most requested color options for the Pixel phones. CNET sister site\u00a0Mashable loved the color<\/a>\u00a0when it debuted on the Pixel 9<\/a>. Phone rivals like Apple and Samsung are usually expected to offer a pink color option in their flagship and midrange phone lineups, so it’s not surprising to see the berry color on the Pixel 10a. \u00a0<\/p>\n

The Pixel 10a is expected to be very similar in terms of design to the Pixel 9a (pictured).\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I’ll say that Google loves having Pixel phones in pink,” said Patrick Holland, CNET managing editor. “The Pixel 9 and 9a come in peony (a bright, bold pink) and the 9 Pro in rose quartz (a more muted pink). The Pixel 10 series lacks any pinkish hues.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Quandt also says that the Pixel 10a will have 128GB and 256GB storage models, and will launch in mid-February. That’s earlier than expected compared with the Pixel 9a, which was revealed in mid-March 2025 for a launch on\u00a0April 10<\/a>. In terms of specifications, we expect the Pixel 10a to be a modest upgrade compared with previous generations. According to leaks, the Pixel 10 is unlikely to feature a\u00a0newer Tensor G5 chip<\/a>, and it’s likely to retain the same overall design as the Pixel 9a.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One leaker, Mystic Leaks<\/a> on Telegram, expressed disappointment and revealed additional specs, including the absence of a telephoto lens, UFS 3.1 storage, a Tensor G4 chip, a 2,000-nit display and no Magic Cue<\/a>, which is Google’s AI feature for the Pixel 10. \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Google Pixel 9a is one of Google’s most affordable Pixel phones, and it includes one of the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":243946,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[61,60,202,80],"class_list":{"0":"post-243945","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mobile","8":"tag-ie","9":"tag-ireland","10":"tag-mobile","11":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/243945","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=243945"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/243945\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/243946"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=243945"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=243945"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=243945"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
