Google Pixel Rumored to Feature Flush Camera Design and Largest Pixel Battery Yet

Leaks suggest the budget-friendly smartphone will launch in late March with upgraded specs, new colors, and a starting price of $499.

The Google Pixel 9a is expected to feature a redesigned rear camera module that sits flush with the back, departing from the traditional camera bump.
Rumored specifications include a Tensor G4 chip, 8GB of RAM, up to 256GB of storage, and a 5,100mAh battery, the largest in any Pixel phone to date.
The phone is said to include a 48MP main camera, a 13MP ultrawide sensor, and a 13MP front-facing camera, maintaining its focus on photography capabilities.
Four color options—Peony (hot pink), Iris (purple), Obsidian (black), and Porcelain (white)—are expected, with prices starting at $499 for the base model.
Reports indicate pre-orders may open on March 19, with an official release date rumored for March 26, though Google has not confirmed these details.
