This is the second batch
Renowned leaker @evleaks shared the Pixel 9a’s marketing materials on his private X account. The low-resolution images showcase the upcoming mid-range Pixel in a purple shade, which will supposedly be marketed as “Iris,” with a revamped rear design that almost entirely eliminates the camera bump, leaving only a slight protrusion.
Like other members of the Pixel 9 family, the renders show that the Pixel 9a will also adopt an iPhone-like flat frame.
Other renders show off the deep Gemini integration, Theft Detection support, and the IP68-certified body.
Today’s leak reveals no new details about the Pixel 9a that previous reports have not already covered. It only gives us a better look at the almost non-existent rear camera bump.
The Pixel 9a is around the corner
Multiple reports suggest that Google will unveil the Pixel 9a on March 19, with sales beginning on March 26. With just over a week left for the rumored unveiling, expect more Pixel 9a imagery and details to surface in the coming days.
The Pixel 9a will apparently sport a bigger 6.3-inch 120Hz Super Actua display with HDR10+ support and a peak brightness of 2,700 nits. Under the hood, leaks point to the mid-range Pixel using a Tensor G4 chip with 8GB of RAM and 128 or 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage. It will seemingly house a massive 5,100mAh battery, which should give its runtime a big boost. Sadly, the charging speed will purportedly remain stuck at 18W.
Despite this notable spec bump, rumors indicate the starting price of the Pixel 9a will remain the same at $499. However, the 256GB variant will supposedly get more expensive, with a $40 price hike, and cost $599 in the US. The European, UK, and Canadian pricing will also see a similar increase.
