There’s been no shortage of leaks about thePixel 9a. Google has not officially announced the phone, but its design, specs, and price are already well-known. Now, videos of the device have landedon YouTube early, seemingly confirming many ofthe leaks.
Sahril KaroulandThe Mobile Centralposted reviews of the Pixel 9a on YouTube, showing off its new design and performance capabilities. The most prominent leak about the device was its newflat camera bumpdesign, which is now confirmed as the real deal. Like thePixel 8a, the phone’s screen also has quite noticeable bezels. Remarkably, these videos were released before Google’s official reveal, which I’m sure is causing a few heads to spin at Google HQ in Mountain View, California.
The Pixel 8a is a mid-ranger Google handset, with a 6.1-inch display, a 64-megapixel main camera, 8GB of RAM, and the Tensor G3 chip first found on the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro smartphones.
New Pixel 9a leak offers the best look yet at the upcoming phone
A hands-on video of what could be the Pixel 9a has leaked.
The biggest battery in a Pixel yet
Early YouTube videos confirm 5,100mAh battery and 48-megapixel rear camera
Despite being a mid-range budget phone, the Pixel 9a has the biggest battery in a Pixel smartphone yet. The videos on YouTube confirm the phone has a 5,100mAh battery, besting thePixel 9 Pro XL’s 5,060mAh battery and the Pixel 8a’s 4,492mAh battery. If you’re interested in this phone, it’s all but guaranteed that battery life won’t be an issue.
The Pixel 9a also has a larger 6.3-inch OLED display, but like the Pixel 8a, its bezels are much larger than those on thePixel 9or its mid-range competitor, theiPhone 16e.
Both videos also show off the phone’s 48-megapixel main rear camera, 13-megapixel ultra-wide sensor, and 13-megapixel front selfie camera, all showing promising results, and the phone seems to do a great job accurately depicting details, colors, and skin tones. However, the phone’s cameras seem to struggle with a lot of noise at night based on The Mobile Central’s experience.
Google is rumored to be unveiling the Pixel 9a soon, possibly on March 19. However, thanks to these hands-on videos on YouTube and all the leaks, there doesn’t seem to be much else left to reveal. The phone is expected to be available in purple, pink, black, and white. I’m still hoping for a surprise blue version like the Pixel 8a’s bay colorway. So far, compared to the iPhone 16e, the Pixel 9a has a lot going for it, and it’s rumored to be $100 cheaper at $500.
