FROM $499: The Google Pixel 9a is now available to shop. Buy now from the Google Store, AT&T, and more.
In the back half of 2024, Google debuted its line of Pixel 9 Android smartphones. Starting at $799, the Google Pixel 9 brought its Gemini AI to the forefront. While we aren’t quite taken with all the AI gimmicks it offers, the Google Pixel remains one of the best Android phones. Now, Google is expanding the Pixel 9 line-up to include the 9a, an entry-level option for those on a budget.
Starting at $499, the Google Pixel 9a costs $300 less than the Pixel 9. It features the Google Tensor G4 processor, the same as in the Pixel 9, a proprietary design used to power up Gemini AI. It features two storage options, 128 or 256GB, and four color options, Iris, Peony, Porcelain, and Obsidian.
It promises 30 hours of battery life and will support seven years of Pixel updates, assuring you won’t have to exchange your smartphone after just a couple of years.
The most unique design feature on the Google Pixel 9a is the back camera. It doesn’t come with the same camera bar you’ll find on the Google Pixel 9. Instead, it has a completely flat back, so the camera sits flush with the chassis. The camera itself features a 48 MP main camera and 13 MP ultrawide camera.
