Last night, Google unveiled the Pixel 9a with a starting price of $499, but it is not yet available for purchase. It is set to go on sale in April (you cannot order it on the Google Store website at the moment, even with a pre-order payment).
Initially, Pixel 9a was scheduled to be released on March 26, but Google had to slightly postpone the release date due to issues with component quality, without specifying what those issues are. This affected only a small number of products, prompting Google to inspect all new units.
One standout feature of the Pixel 9a is the redesigned camera module, which no longer has a protruding camera bump like previous Pixel models, and it features the same AI chip as the higher-end Pixel 9.

TLDR: Google introduced the Pixel 9a with a price starting at $499 but delayed the release due to component quality issues. The phone features a new camera design and shares an AI chip with the Pixel 9.
