Google Pixel 9A Design Leaked, 2025 Launch Could Happen Much Earlier – News18

Google is expected to launch the Pixel 9a smartphone in early 2025. It will be the company’s latest mid-range addition to its recently launched Google Pixel 9 series. However, before any official announcement of the device, a series of computer-aided design (CAD) renders of the forthcoming Pixel phone have appeared online which suggests significant changes to its rear panel and processor.

Google Pixel 9a Launch And Rumours

As per the leaks, the Pixel 9a is expected to come with Android 15 and Tensor G4 chipset like the others in the Pixel 9 series. Reports suggest Google could launch the Pixel 9a around March next year which is a few month earlier than its usual timeline.

In terms of design, the leaked renders indicate that the Pixel 9a will not feature the traditional camera bar or visor. Instead, the cameras will be flush with the back panel, enclosed in a pill-shaped module that houses two camera sensors. The device will be slightly taller and broader with dimensions with dimensions of 154 x 73 mm. However, it also gets thinner, as it is likely to measure 8.5 mm, compared to 8.9mm frame on Pixel 8a.

The upcoming device seems to have noticeable but uniform side bezels and flat edges. However, the rest of the phone looks similar to other Pixel 9 phones. Apart from this, according to a report by GSMArena, the Pixel 9a is likely to arrive in four new colour options including Porcelain, Obsidian, Peony and Iris.

Talking about the Google Pixel 9 series, the company launched its four flagship handsets which include the Google Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL and the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, all powered by the new Tensor G4 processor and featuring the Titan M2 security chip.

In India, the price for the Google Pixel 9 begins at Rs 79,999 for the base 12GB+256GB variant. The Pixel 9 Pro, with 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, comes with a price tag of Rs 1,09,999, while the Pixel 9 Pro XL, with the same memory and storage configuration, is available for Rs 1,24,999.
