Hyundai i10, 4 years old, 35k.
Car has some kind of squeak at slow speed. An example of when it occurs is when you pull up to an up hill junction on the brakes, you then coast to a halt. It’ll then continue to squeak when you pull away slowly but stops once you have some speed up.
No smells, or change in performance.
My instinct is that the brakes are sticking a little, but I know very little about cars.
Sticky calliper or dirt dust in there. Possible glaized pads if you aren't braking hard much. Disk or drum rears - if drum, they may need cleaning out.
There's a mouse in one of your tyres that hates going slowly. It's squeaking to tell you to hurry the **** up!

Thanks @fossy, disks at the rear, but the handbrake does have the odd habit of sticking when left for a few days.
It's still under warranty, take it to a dealer.
Mine had an annoying intermittent squeak when new that I was convinced was coming from the front somewhere. It turned out to be the top seatbelt fitting, just by my right ear that squeaked when it moved a small amount slowly. Quick blast of Mr Sheen and it hasn't done it since.

Already booked in with them, just curious as to what it could be.

Totally understandable. But from the replies you'll be getting the idea it unfortunately could be absolutely bloody anything, and since it just possibly could be something significant and it's still under warranty - dealer!
As you've done...
Are one/some of the wheels getting hot? Ie are the calipers binding on a bit?
You might need to free them up if so.
