Google Pixel 9a once again tipped for an ugly redesign in new renders
Google could be planning something unusual with the Pixel 9a, because while the company’s a-series handsets tend to look similar to other Pixel models of a given generation, the Pixel 9a might not look all that much like the Google Pixel 9, or even on the Pixel 8a. At least that’s the impression given by some newly leaked renders.
Android Headsin collaboration with leaker @OnLeaks, has shared renders that supposedly show the Google Pixel 9a, one of which you can see below. The design ditches the camera bar protruding from the Pixel 9, while the lenses sit almost flush with the back of the handset.
It makes for an arguably more ordinary and boring design, and one we’re not too fond of, especially when combined with the large bezels around the screen.
Unfortunately, this design is likely
There’s always a chance this leak is wrong, but the source has an excellent track record and this isn’t the first time we’ve seen this particular Pixel 9a design, so for now we’d say it’s probably accurate. .
In any case, this latest leak also includes some specs, with the source claiming that the Pixel 9a will have a Tensor G4 chipset, just like the rest of the Pixel 9 line, and will unsurprisingly launch with Android 15.
We can also see from these images that it has a dual-lens camera, and the source claims that most of the specs will be similar to those of the Pixel 8a, a phone with a 6.1-inch screen, 8 GB of RAM, 128 GB of storage, a 64 MP main camera, a 13 MP ultra-wide-angle camera and a 4,492 mAh battery.
The Google Pixel 9a will also apparently get seven years’ worth of software updates, just like its more expensive siblings, and based on previous forms it’ll likely land in May, so it’ll probably have to wait a while.
