Despite being rumored to use the same battery size, Google’s upcoming Pixel 10a might just have slightly improved battery life.

The Pixel 9a delivered the biggest battery ever in a Pixel phone when it launched last year, clocking in at 5,100 mAh. As far as rumors go for the Pixel 10a, it sounds like that won’t be changing.

However, the battery life may end up being a tiny bit better this time around. YTechB obtained an unpublished EU energy label for the Pixel 10a that grants the device an “A” rating and battery life tested at 53 hours 14 minutes.

For comparison, the Pixel 9a was given a “B” rating and endurance of 52 hours 19 minutesEU label for Pixel 9a】.

So not exactly a huge difference, but an improvement nonetheless. There’s no mention of the actual battery size in this leak, but it sounds like nothing significant is changing. The added endurance could come from additional capacity, but it’s just as likely it might come from software enhancements or other hardware changes. Whatever the case, an improvement is an improvement.

Pixel 10a is confirmed to launch on February 18announcement】.
