Targeting Apple’s projected iPhone SE 4 model, which is predicted to make its debut around the same time, Google is apparently aiming to introduce the Pixel 9a smartphone in March of next year.
Pixel 9a: Expected design
In contrast to the visor-style camera housing that Google’s Tensor range debuted in previous years, the Pixel 9a is probably going to have flat side rails. Rather, it will use a flat, pill-shaped module that houses two cameras that are flush with the phone’s back and each surrounded by a tiny ring. Before the company left the market, LG’s cellphones looked similar to this design.
Pixel 9a: Expected Specifications
The following details about the Pixel 9a’s primary specifications have emerged:
- Processor: Tensor G4 chip (same as other Pixel 9 series smartphones)
- RAM: 8GB LPDDR5X
- Storage: Up to 256GB UFS 3.1
- Display: 6.28-inch AMOLED Actua display, FHD+ resolution, 60-120Hz adaptive refresh rate, 1600 nits HDR brightness, 2700 nits peak brightness, Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection
- Rear Camera: 48MP primary sensor with optical image stabilisation (OIS), 13MP ultra-wide Sony IMX712 sensor
- Front Camera: 13MP Sony IMX712 sensor
- Battery: 5100mAh
- Charging: 23W wired, 7.5W wireless
- Durability: IP68 dust and water resistance
An optical fingerprint sensor is anticipated to remain on the smartphone, following Google’s a-series design decisions.
Imaging and Battery Features
The Pixel 9a would come with a 13MP ultra-wide lens and a 48MP primary sensor with OIS. According to reports, the front-facing camera will be the 13MP Sony IMX712 sensor, guaranteeing uniformity across lenses.
It is anticipated that the Pixel 9a would have a 5100mAh battery that supports both 7.5W wireless and 23W cable charging.
