Rumors are swirling about the Google Pixel 9a, a mid-range smartphone set to be unveiled in May, coinciding with Google I/O. However, whispers suggest it may hit the shelves at the end of March instead.
The latest leak from the German website WinFuture reveals that the Pixel 9a will be slightly larger than its predecessor, the Pixel 8a. The screen size will increase from 6.1 inches to 6.3 inches, with a battery capacity bump to 5,100 mAh. Despite this, the weight will decrease slightly from 188 grams to 185.9 grams.
Other specs include a display resolution of 2424×1080, a 120Hz refresh rate, Gorilla Glass 3 protection, Tensor G4 chip (similar to the Pixel 9), 8GB of RAM, 128GB/256GB storage options, and Android 15 operating system (making it the first phone to run Android 15) with a guaranteed 7-year upgrade cycle.
A notable design change is the absence of the iconic camera bar on the back, replaced by a simple camera module akin to other phones on the market. The rear camera setup will feature a 48MP main lens and a 13MP ultra-wide lens, while the front camera will have a 13MP sensor.
The price for the 128GB model remains at $499, but the 256GB variant will see a price hike to $599, up from the previous $559.
