What the Certification Reveals
According to the leaked document, the Pixel 10A — listed under model STA5 — brings a healthy combination of upgrades and familiar features that should appeal to anyone wanting a clean, fast Google experience without flagship pricing.
Confirmed Key Specs (from the certification)
- Display: 6.285″ FHD+ Plastic AMOLED
Refresh rate: 60/120Hz, meaning variable refresh is supported - Cameras:
• Rear: 48MP wide (f/1.7, 82°) + 13MP ultrawide (119.7°, f/2.2)
• Front: 13MP selfie (96.1°, f/2.2) - Memory: 8GB RAM
- Storage: 128GB
- Battery: 5100mAh
- Network: Certified for 5G NR SA/NSA + LTE + global bands
- MicroSD: Not supported
- LTE Category: Cat 19
This aligns closely with Google’s typical A-series philosophy — a strong camera system, a comfortable display size, and a big battery, all positioned just under the flagship range.
A Phone “Engineered by Google”
The document also includes a short description stating:
“STA5 is the only phone engineered by Google, bringing Google AI to you at great value.”
Google has been pushing AI messaging heavily across its lineup, and it looks like the Pixel 10A will continue leaning into that with core Google AI features baked into the experience — likely including Circle to Search, Call Assist, and the latest Gemini-powered tools.
Why This Matters
Certification leaks like this usually show up only weeks or months before launch, meaning the Pixel 10A is now in its final rollout stages.
With the Pixel 9A rumored to be cancelled earlier this year, the Pixel 10A appears to be Google’s next major budget entry — and it looks set to be a meaningful step up in battery life, display smoothness, and camera capability.
