Google Pixel 10a finally launches in Japan with exclusive ‘Isai Blue’ color [Video]

The Pixel 10a launched about a month ago in most of the world, but has been absent in Japan despite prior success for the Pixel in that region. That’s finally changing, though, as the Pixel 10a is now available for pre-order in Japan and, on top of that, it gets a special “Isai Blue” color that’s exclusive to the region. This piece sits on 1 source layers, but the real value is showing why the story should not be skimmed past too quickly.

The Pixel 10a launched about a month ago in most of the world, but has been absent in Japan despite prior success for the Pixel in that region. That’s finally changing, though, as the Pixel 10a is now available for pre-order in Japan and, on top of that, it gets a special “Isai Blue” color that’s exclusive to the region. Following up on prior teasers, the Pixel 10a’s new Japan-exclusive color is “Isai Blue,” a very deep, almost navy blue color that also makes for a rare fifth entry for the device’s color palette. 9to5Google is the main source layer for now, and the rest should be read as a signal that is still widening. On the device side, the useful angle is whether a technical change actually alters feel, lifespan, or upgrade cost in real use.

The details worth keeping

Following up on prior teasers, the Pixel 10a’s new Japan-exclusive color is “Isai Blue,” a very deep, almost navy blue color that also makes for a rare fifth entry for the device’s color palette.

Google picked this new blue Pixel 10a color with HERALBONY, a “creative company that works with artists with disabilities to create new culture,” a translated copy of the Google Store listing explains.

What to watch next
