Pixel 10a back panel leaked in a low quality photo

Even though the Google Pixel 10 series is only a month away, leaks of the Pixel 10a, a phone that is probably going to come much later than the Pixel 10 lineup, are already appearing. We may have just seen Google’s upcoming midrange phone for the first time thanks to a recent leak.

The “Google Pixel 10A engineering back cover” has already been sold by a seller on the Chinese auction site Goofish, as Android Authority first noticed. Even though the item is now listed as “sold out” and the image quality is not very good, it does provide an early peek at the Pixel 10a’s back panel and potential design.

We get our first look at the Pixel 10a design thanks to a leaked back panel.

Based on the picture, it should come as no surprise that the Pixel 10a and Pixel 9a share a lot of design similarities. With the Pixel 9a, Google abandoned the recognizable camera visor design in favor of a more flat, minimalistic style, and it looks like the Pixel 10a will continue that trend.

The dual-camera cutout in the picture is identical to that of the Pixel 9a. There isn’t a significant difference to be seen here, save from the flash being a little bit farther to the right of the camera module than it was on the Pixel 9a.

Despite my distaste for the Pixel 9a’s appearance, it appears that Google is continuing to use its more straightforward design for a second year. Even the Pixel 10 series hasn’t arrived yet, so keep in mind that the Pixel 10a is still months away, so don’t be too surprised by these rumors.
