Google's upcoming smartphone might just be a bargain! A recent leak suggests that the new Google Pixel could be more affordable than its predecessor, with a potential price drop and an earlier release date. But here's the twist: will this strategy pay off?
The leak hints at a possible February 17 launch in the Eurozone, which is a significant departure from the previous model's release schedule. This early release could be a game-changer for eager fans. And the price? Well, it's rumored to start at €500 (~$580) for the 128 GB model, which is a steal compared to the previous generation. But the question remains: will this price cut be consistent across all markets?
Not only is the price intriguing, but the color options are too. The Pixel 10a is expected to debut with a range of new colors, except for the Obsidian finish, which has already been revealed. Google seems to be playing it safe with colors, as the Indigo, Frost, and Lemongrass options from the Pixel 10 won't make a comeback. Instead, they're introducing Berry, Lavender, and Fog, at least for the 128 GB model. But here's where it gets controversial—the 256 GB variant will be limited to Obsidian, despite the Pixel 9a offering a colorful Iris option.
And this is the part most people miss: the new color options will have matching cases, adding a touch of personalization. These cases are expected to be priced at a reasonable €20 (~$23).
