We have also seen a lot of leaks and reports of what the budget phone could look like and what will specify them from a redesigned module of cameras to improved battery life – and, undoubtedly many new AI features.
Here are all the latest rumors of the Pixel 9a and when you can start.
When will the pixel 9a come out?
With Google he threw out the publication of its flagship Pixel 9 Lining until August instead of October last year, we are likely to see her budget phone coming out-most likely in mid-March, according to Headlines on Android.
This is not too surprising, given that Google has essentially turned I/O into a session of all things during which during which The hardware is hard to mention. Even last year, Pixel 8a It was discovered a week before the company's big event.
How much will Pixel 9a cost?
According to Android headlines, Pixel 9a will Maintain the starting price of $ 8a $ 499 For 128 GB of storage. If you are dealing with up to 256 GB storage, you will reportedly pay $ 599.
Maintaining prices the same, especially with a budget phone, can be favorable. But fresh from Apple's heels iPhone 16e Posting, which begins in A. Not so-Bug-friendly $ 599, a lower starting price can give the pixel 9a leg.
What will pixel 9a look like?
The biggest change, according to leaks, is the loss of camera tape for pixel signatures. Instead, suggest titles on Android, the wide and ultravid cameras on 9a will be Sit down red with the back on the phone.

The main camera will reportedly be 48 megapixels (down from 64 megapixels to 8A), while ultravid and selfie cameras can keep their 13 megapixel sensors. Megapixels are not everything, and it is likely that Google will look for other ways to improve its cameras this year (my money is on AI mentioning a lot here).
Randers show another thing: the alleged colors of the new phone. Pixel 9a reportedly will come to porcelain (white), Osidian (black), peony (pink) and iris (purple hue).

Processor, AI features and battery
If Google sticks to the script, its budget phone will share the same processor as its leaders on the devices, which means that the Pixel 9a will be powered by the Tensor G4 chip, the same silicon that authorizes Pixel 9. But Android Authority reports that instead Function of 5300 Found on the Pixel 8 series. This is probably a measure to keep prices low, but it may mean that Google's budget will have to do without the Pixel 9 leader Satellite sauce Function because it is powered by that 5400 modem.
On the other hand, the presence of the Tensor G4 chip means that we are likely to see the same features of AI of the Pixel 9 series of 9As, such as Add me and pixel studio. As Apple Intelligence arrives on the iPhone 16e and Galaxy AI ship Samsung Galaxy S24 FeIt is now quite given that even budget phones will flex the latest AI features.
Finally, Android headlines suggest that Pixel 9a will have AA 5.100-mach batteryWhat would be a boost above the 4,492 mAh battery at 8A. If 9a ended as a slimmer than its predecessor, having a longer battery life, the cherry at the top would surely be.
Havee must see how many of these rumors shape to be a reality – and it seems we could know sooner than later.
