Google Confirms Pixel 9A Release Dates Following Brief Delay
The midrange smartphone will debut on April 10 in the US, Canada, and UK, with phased launches in other regions later in April.
- The Pixel 9A will launch on April 10, 2025, in the US, Canada, and UK, with European availability starting April 14 and select Asia-Pacific regions on April 16.
- The release was delayed from its original March schedule due to a 'component quality issue' affecting a small number of devices, which has now been resolved.
- Priced at $499, the Pixel 9A features a Tensor G4 chip, 6.3-inch 120Hz display, 8GB of RAM, and a 5,100mAh battery with 23W wired and 7.5W wireless charging.
- The device lacks some flagship features, including satellite SOS functionality and full Gemini AI capabilities, reflecting its budget-friendly positioning.
- Pre-orders are unavailable, but customers can sign up for notifications, with Japan's release date still listed as 'coming soon.'
