Less than two weeks ago, the Pixel 9 series—which consists of two Pro models, a foldable Pixel 9, and the standard Pixel 9—was introduced. We now have our first glimpse at the impending Pixel 9a in real-time, and that frees up space for one more A-series smartphone.
With a flat display and a punchhole cutout for the selfie camera, the device’s front design is identical to that of the most current generation of Pixel 9. Given that the Pixel 8a also had thicker borders than its siblings, it is not surprising that the bezels on the Pixel 9 and 9 Pro models appear to be thicker than those on the former.
Similar to the Pixel 9, the Pixel 9a sides have the same matte finish and seem to be constructed of aluminum. The bottom of the device has the speaker, USB-C port, and SIM slot. The 9a has a glass-only rear with a small camera bar that houses the two cameras and a glossy ring that covers the sensors and is rarely flush with the back.
According to the latest rumor, the Pixel 9a will be on sale closer to the end of the year and come in four hues, including silver and black (as seen above). Google’s latest Tensor G4 processor is anticipated to be included in the device at launch.
