The Google Pixel 9a is generating excitement ahead of its launch, with recent leaks revealing key details about its design, specs, and features. Set to retain the same price as its predecessor, the Pixel 8a, the Pixel 9a promises notable upgrades, including a larger battery, the latest Tensor G4 chipset, and an improved camera setup. Here’s everything we know about the upcoming Pixel 9a.
The Pixel 9a will reportedly be available in three colour options: Iris, Porcelain, and Obsidian. It is expected to feature a 6.285-inch Actua display with an impressive 2,700 nits peak brightness and 1,800 nits HDR brightness, protected by Gorilla Glass 3 for durability. Under the hood, the Google Tensor G4 processor will power the phone, supported by 8GB of LPDDR5X RAM for smooth performance. Storage options are expected to include 128GB and 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage.
On the rear, the Pixel 9a is likely to feature a dual-camera setup. The primary camera will be a 48-megapixel GN8 Quad Dual Pixel sensor with an f/1.7 aperture, paired with a 13-megapixel ultra-wide Sony IMX712 sensor featuring an f/2.2 aperture. The front camera is expected to remain the same as the Pixel 8a. Additionally, the Pixel 9a may come with a fingerprint sensor under the display for added security.
The Pixel 9a is expected to be equipped with a 5,100mAh battery, offering a substantial increase over the Pixel 8a's 4,500mAh battery. The device will likely support 23W fast charging and 7.5W wireless charging. However, the Pixel 9a may not support Qi2 wireless charging. For durability, the phone is expected to have an IP68 rating, providing both water and dust resistance, just like its predecessors.
The Pixel 9a will run on Android 15, with Google expected to offer seven years of OS updates for the device. This long-term software support is one of the standout features of the Pixel series, ensuring users have access to the latest Android features for years to come.
