Google smartphones are known for many things – software updates, camera quality, and hardware leaks. As is the tradition with annual smartphone releases, Google’s upcoming Pixel 9a has been leaked to oblivion at this point (much like the Pixel 8a), and a more recent report reveals a ton of information about the smartphone.
As reported by the folks over at Android Headlines, the Pixel 9a will indeed come with a new hardware design that ditches the camera window at the back, and the phone will come with a 6.2-inch display with a peak brightness of 2,700 nits, as well as a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. The phone will also be powered by Google’s Tensor G4 chipset, alongside 8GB of RAM and up to 256GB of internal storage. The phone likewise comes with the Titan M2 security chip inside.
The Pixel 9a will come equipped with a 48-megapixel GN8 Quad Dual Pixel primary sensor, and a Sony IMX ultra-wide camera with 13MP resolution; in front there’s a 13MP selfie camera. As for battery, the phone will run on a 5,100 mAh cell which is rather large for a Pixel device. Wireless charging is still slow at 7.5W and there’s no sign of Qi2 support, although wired charging is now reportedly at 23W.
The phone will start at $500, and will be available in Obsidian, Porcelain, Iris and Peony. There’s no mention of a specific launch date at the moment, although it’s highly expected that the phone will launch sometime in March 2025.
