Google launched the Pixel 9 series in September with tons of new features. The tech giants went hard on AI with its new Pixel 9 series, offering features such as Add Me, Pixel Studio, Zoom Enhance, Gemini Live, and much more. Now, that the initial hype around the Pixel 9 has settled, the Google Pixel 9a is surfacing on the internet with rumours claiming new changes. Previously, we came across the leak that suggested the Pixel 9a would come with a flat back panel, removing the lifted camera module. In the latest development, a new report suggests that the upcoming Pixel 9 series phone will replace the 64-megapixel main camera from the Pixel 8a, and feature the same sensor that we have seen in the Pixel 9 Pro Fold.
According to a new report by Android Headline, the Pixel 9a will sport a 48-megapixel main camera, which can be the same sensor that we have seen in the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. Now, this might look like a downgrade from the outside but it can actually capture better pictures because of the larger size megapixels being used.
The report also mentions that the Pixel 9a will include the Add Me feature, which has garnered a lot of attention, including from me. This feature is incredibly useful for group photos when one person needs to step out to take the picture. With Add Me, you can easily take turns being in the photo, and the AI seamlessly merges the images to create a flawless group shot.
So, these are the two latest details about the Pixel 9a that have been shared on the internet. However, there are some rumoured features that we know about it.
The Google Pixel 9a is anticipated to launch earlier than usual, with pre-orders expected to begin in mid-March next year. This upcoming model is likely to be slightly taller and wider than the Pixel 8a, measuring approximately 154.7 x 73.2 x 8.9 mm. It will feature a 6.3-inch display and may include a flat camera module on the rear.
According to previous leaks, the Pixel 9a will be available in four colorways: Porcelain, Iris, Obsidian, and Peony. It is expected to run on Android 15 and be powered by the Tensor G4 chip. Additionally, Google plans to offer seven years of Android upgrades for this new device.
