Naturally, if we’re looking to guess the most likely release date for the Pixel 10a, a good rule of thumb would be to look at past a-model Pixel phone releases.
What does the Google Pixel 10 release mean?

A minor observation worth mentioning is that the Google Pixel 9 series launched in August of last year, which led to the Pixel 9a coming out in April of this year. Following that schedule, the Pixel 10 release of August also indicates an April release for the Pixel 10a.
Before that, the Pixel 8 and the Pixel 7 phones launched in October, with their budget models following suit in May, as mentioned above. So, from the release schedule of the Pixel 10, it is almost a given that the Pixel 10a will launch in April of 2025.
So, to recap once again, these are some of the past Pixel release dates for both the main models, as well as the budget offerings.
Pixel phone | Announcement date | Release date |
---|---|---|
Google Pixel 10 | August 20, 2025 | August 28, 2025 |
Google Pixel 9 | August 13, 2025 | August 22, 2025 |
Google Pixel 9a | March 19, 2025 | April 10, 2025 |
Google Pixel 8 | October 4, 2023 | October 12, 2023 |
Google Pixel 8a | May 7, 2024 | May 14, 2024 |
Google Pixel 7 | October 6, 2022 | October 13, 2022 |
Google Pixel 7a | May 10, 2023 | May 10, 2023 |
Should you wait for the Pixel 10a?

There’s one problem with the upcoming Google Pixel 10a: it might not be that good. Leaked Pixel 10a features paint a disappointing picture for Google’s upcoming budget phone, and it might not really be worth the wait.
For example, one of the biggest letdowns — if the leak is accurate — is that the Pixel 10a will use the older Tensor G4 chip, instead of the new Tensor G5. This means that the phone will be underpowered, and it will be unable to run any of the new AI features that Google marketed at the Pixel 10 launch event.
None of this is final, of course, so you might as well wait to see if any of it is true, if you’ve got the time. But, in my opinion, I think you’d be better off just getting the base Pixel 10 this year: those new AI features are actually pretty helpful.
