Google Announces Pixel 9a with Redesigned Look and Delayed Launch

Priced at $499, the Pixel 9a features a flat back, Tensor G4 processor, and seven years of updates, but its release is pushed to April due to a component issue.

The Pixel 9a introduces a flat back design, removing the iconic camera bar for a sleeker appearance and a unique water-drop camera housing.
Powered by Google's Tensor G4 processor, the phone includes advanced AI features and a 6.3-inch OLED display with 120Hz adaptive refresh and 2,700 nits peak brightness.
Its dual rear camera system comprises a 48MP main camera and a 13MP ultrawide lens, with new features like Macro Focus and AI-powered photography tools.
The phone boasts a 5,100mAh battery, offering over 30 hours of use, and seven years of OS updates for long-term support and security.
Although announced on March 19, pre-orders are delayed due to a component quality issue, with availability now expected in April.
