Pricing and availability for the next Google Pixel have surfaced in a fresh leak. Not only is the new smartphone rumoured to be launching sooner than last year’s model, but cheaper pricing could be in order, as could a batch of new colour options.
For instance, the Pixel 10a could launch on February 17 in the Eurozone, which would be over a month before the Pixel 9a’s first anniversary. Moreover, Lupin claims the Pixel 10a will start at around €500 (~$580) with 128 GB of storage and will rise to roughly €600 (~$699) for 256 GB SKUs. Whether this €50 (~$59) price cut reflects in other markets remains to be seen at this stage.

Additionally, the Pixel 10a is allegedly set to launch with new colour options, save for the Obsidian finish that Android Headlines has already showcased. However, Google will not be bringing across the Indigo, Frost or Lemongrass from the Pixel 10, either. Instead, Lupin reports that Obsidian will be joined by Berry, Lavender and Fog, at least for the device’s 128 GB SKU anyway.
For some reason, Google is said to be restricting the device’s 256 GB variant to Obsidian, despite also offering the equivalent Pixel 9a with an Iris colourway too. Writing on X, Lupin adds that these colours will be joined by matching cases priced at €20 (~$23).
