Google Pixel 10a rumors are starting to surface, with the latest suggesting that the upcoming affordable Pixel will be disappointing to many. The phone is expected to launch early next year.

According to a tipster, the Pixel 10a will be equipped with last year's Tensor G4 SoC, which is found on thePixel 9aand other 9 series phones. This aligns withearlier speculationthat Google plans to take significant cost-cutting measures with its next affordable Pixel.

The tipster further reveals that the upcoming A series Pixel phone will also offer the same UFS 3.1 storage as the 9a. It will also come with a similar dual camera setup at the back, without a telephoto unit.

It is, however, expected to sport a brighter display compared to the current phone. As per the tipster, the Pixel 10a will get a 2,000 nits panel.

Lastly, the Pixel 10a will also miss out on several AI features that were introduced with the Pixel 10 lineup. It will not offer the Magic Cue feature, according to the tipster.
