Pixel 10a back panel spotted in potato-quality leak

The Google Pixel 10 series may be just over a month away, but that isn’t stopping leaks of the Pixel 10a — a phone likely to launch well after the Pixel 10 lineup — from surfacing early. A new leak might have just given us our first glimpse at Google’s next midrange phone.

As first spotted by Android Authority, a seller has already listed the “Google Pixel 10A engineering back cover” on the Chinese auction site Goofish. While the item now shows as “sold out” and the image quality is quite poor, it does offer a first look at the rear panel of the Pixel 10a and its possible design.

Leaked panel gives us our first glimpse at the Pixel 10a design

Judging from the image, the Pixel 10a will (unsurprisingly) look quite similar to the Pixel 9a in terms of design. Google moved away from the iconic camera visor design, opting for a flatter, minimalist look on the Pixel 9a, and it appears the Pixel 10a will carry that forward.

You can see the same dual-camera cutout in the image, similar to the Pixel 9a. One small change may be that the flash slightly farther to the right of the camera module than on the Pixel 9a, but beyond that, there’s no major difference visible here.

While I’m not a fan of the Pixel 9a’s design, it looks like Google is sticking with its simpler design for a second year. That said, remember the Pixel 10a is still months away — even the Pixel 10 series hasn’t launched yet — so take these leaks with a grain of salt, as things could still change.
