Google Pixel 10 vs Google Pixel 10a

step45

In a few days (Feb 2026), Google Pixel 10a will be available into stores.
It was already announced some hardware specifications about Pixel 10a and it looks that in fact it will be closer to the Pixel 9th gen hardware than 10th gen, in particular Pixel 10a will come with the Google Tensor G4 (4nm) instead of Google Tensor G5 (3nm).

Google Pixel 10
Google Tensor G5 (3 nm)
GPU PowerVR DXT

Google Pixel 10a
Google Tensor G4 (4 nm)
GPU Mali-G715 MC7

I was wondering if we already have some info/comparison about hardware security ?
CPU, GPU, modem, secure element ...

Thanks in advance,

It is still not clear if there will be any support for GrapheneOS @GrapheneOS
Perhaps team can tell us already.

Looks very, very, similar to the 9a. Same price, even? If the 9a instead drops in price, I might just pick up a few buddies/siblings as backup for my existing one...!

But I suppose the 10a might still surprise us with some unknown cool specs for the price range.

Betting on GrapheneOS support, especially if it's "just another 9a".
