Pixel 9a to Launch Earlier Than Expected in March 2025

Google is shifting its Pixel a-series launch cycle to March, aiming to compete with Apple's upcoming iPhone SE 4.

Reports indicate that Google will open pre-orders for the Pixel 9a in mid-March 2025, with in-store availability by the end of the month.
The Pixel 9a is expected to feature a redesigned camera bar and come in four colors: porcelain, obsidian, peony, and iris.
Speculations suggest the Pixel 9a will be powered by the Tensor G4 SoC and run Android 15, continuing Google's trend of offering flagship features in mid-range devices.
Google's decision to release the Pixel 9a earlier may be a strategic move to challenge the anticipated iPhone SE 4, which is rumored to launch next spring.
The new launch schedule could become permanent for future Pixel a-series models, with the Pixel 10a potentially debuting in March 2026.
