Get ready for a juicy tech scoop! The Pixel 10a's store page has everyone talking about FaceTime support, but it's not what you might expect.
Google has officially announced that the Pixel 10a will be up for pre-order starting February 18, 2026. The store page also reveals some intriguing details, including the promise of a durable phone and the ability to capture incredible photos with ease.
But here's where it gets controversial: the page specifically targets iPhone users, highlighting how they can seamlessly switch to Pixel. It mentions "easy texting with iPhone" and even offers a data transfer service to help with the transition. And this is the part most people miss: it also mentions "keeping video chats, even with FaceTime."
At first glance, it seems like a confirmation of native FaceTime support on the Pixel 10a. But hold that thought! While it's possible, it's more likely that Google is referring to the ability to join FaceTime calls via web links, a feature available on all Android devices since iOS 15.
Apple introduced this feature back in 2021, allowing non-Apple devices to join FaceTime calls through their web browsers. However, initiating a FaceTime call from an Android or Windows device is still not possible, and this isn't exclusive to Pixel devices. It's a FaceTime feature, or limitation, depending on your perspective.
Reddit users have previously spotted similar mentions on the Pixel 10's store page, and we know that the Pixel 10 didn't offer any additional FaceTime capabilities beyond standard Android features. The same text persists on the general Pixel phones landing page, so it's safe to say that the Pixel 10a probably won't deliver any extra FaceTime support either.
We've reached out to Google for clarification on these FaceTime mentions, and we'll keep you posted as soon as we have more information.
So, what do you think? Are you hoping for a miracle, or do you think Google's just playing it safe? Let us know in the comments below!
