Pixel 9a tipped with 6.3-inch sports screen, 48-megapixel camera in new leak
The Google Pixel 9a isn’t expected to debut for several months, but details of the alleged device have surfaced online more than once. It is expected to be the successor to this year’s Pixel 8a model, the company’s latest midrange smartphone. A publication has now leaked several key specifications of the Pixel 9a, which could be revealed by Google in early 2025. The device will reportedly come equipped with a larger battery and the company’s current-gen Tensor G4 chipset.
Google Pixel 9a Specifications (Leaked)
An Android heads report Citing multiple sources, it is claimed that the Pixel 9a will have a 6.3-inch actual display, with a refresh rate ranging between 60Hz and 120Hz. This is slightly larger than the 6.1-inch screen of the current A-series model, and puts the mid-range phone on par with the standard Pixel 9 model.
If the Pixel 9a comes with a larger screen, the size of the device is also expected to increase. According to the publication, the company will use the extra space to include a larger 5,000 mAh battery – a significant improvement over the Pixel 8a, which came out earlier this year with a 4,500 mAh battery.
Google typically equips its Pixel A series phones with current-generation chips, and the upcoming handset is expected to follow the same trend. The report states that the Pixel 9a will be powered by a Tensor G4 chip, along with 8GB of RAM and up to 256GB of storage.
Meanwhile, the company will reportedly equip the Pixel 9a with a 48-megapixel primary camera; previous reports suggest it will be the same sensor used on the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. It is also said to have a 13-megapixel ultra-wide camera, placed horizontally on the rear panel. On the front, the alleged Pixel 9a is said to have a 13-megapixel selfie camera.
The Pixel 9a is expected to ship with Android 15 and will likely receive 7 years of OS upgrades and monthly security updates, just like the Pixel 8a and other recent smartphones. According to a recent report, the company could launch the smartphone in early 2025 instead of unveiling it at Google I/O in May.
