Although an official release date has yet to be confirmed, recent listings on retailer websites in Germany and UAE have revealed potential pricing and specifications. Additionally, an unboxing video has emerged on YouTube, providing further insights into the device’s features.
Pricing Details from Retailer Listings
According to GSMArena, the German e-commerce site Expert TechnoMark has listed the Pixel 9a at a price of EUR 549 (approximately Rs. 52,000) for the 128GB storage model. The phone is available in several colors, including black, gray, rose, and violet. The listing indicates that shipping will commence within 10 to 14 days, hinting at a possible official launch later this month.
The Pixel 9a is expected to run on Android 15 and feature a 6.3-inch full-HD+ OLED display with a peak brightness of 2,700 nits, protected by Gorilla Glass 3. It will likely be powered by Google’s Tensor G4 chipset, coupled with 8GB of RAM and storage options of up to 256GB. The device is rumored to include a 48-megapixel main camera, a 13-megapixel ultrawide sensor, and a robust 5,100mAh battery.
In a separate classified listing, the Pixel 9a is reported to be priced at AED 2,350 (around Rs. 56,000) for the 8GB RAM and 128GB storage variant, further confirming the anticipated price range for this new smartphone.
Insights from the Unboxing Video
The YouTube channel The Mobile Central recently released a review video showcasing the unannounced Pixel 9a. The video features the white color variant of the phone, which has a plastic back and noticeable bezels. It is suggested that the display will support a 120Hz refresh rate, enhancing the user experience.
Notably, the Pixel 9a does not feature Google’s signature camera bump, with the cameras positioned nearly flush against the back. The video highlights images and videos taken with the phone’s rumored 48-megapixel dual rear camera and 13-megapixel selfie camera. The reviewer notes that the camera captures balanced skin tones and retains good detail in low-light conditions, although video quality may suffer at night. The device is also expected to include stereo speakers and the same 5,100mAh battery.
In the performance segment of the video, the YouTuber tests various games on the Pixel 9a. The Tensor chipset appears capable of handling everyday tasks and casual gaming, though performance may decline during more intensive gaming sessions.
Expected Launch Date
Google is anticipated to officially unveil the Pixel 9a on March 19, marking an exciting addition to the Pixel lineup. As the launch date approaches, more details are likely to emerge, further building anticipation among tech enthusiasts and potential buyers.
