GoKawiilDon't be blue: Google is releasing an Isai blue edition of the Pixel 10A to celebrate the Android phone line's 10th anniversary, setting it apart with its own sticker set, specialized wallpaper and custom icons. But it'll only be available in Japan.
The Isai blue Pixel 10A's wallpaper was created by an artist contracted by the Japanese design company Heralbony. Google
Announced Tuesday on the Google Japan blog, the Isai blue Pixel 10A has a dark blue look and includes bonus decorations designed in collaboration with Japan's Heralbony art company. These include an exclusive bumper case and stickers for customization.
The stickers have a hand-drawn look. Google
This edition of the Pixel 10A will arrive in Japan on May 20, following the April 14 release of the Pixel 10A in its original colors of lavender, berry, fog and obsidian. The Isai blue model costs 94,900 yen, which roughly translates to $595, and includes 256GB of storage.
This makes it slightly less expensive than the US model's 256GB edition, but it comes with a number of fun extras at no additional cost.
Google's creation of a country-specific model for Japan may also reflect strong sales in that market. In 2023, the IDC analytics firm (via 9to5Google) reported that the Pixel 7 series accounted for 10.7% of the country's market share, a 527% increase from 2022.
