The Google Pixel 9a’s release appears imminent following an EMVCo certification. The listing confirms the device’s model number as GTF7P (codename TG4). Unsurprisingly, the Pixel 9a will ship with Android 15 pre-installed, following the Android 14 debut on the Pixel 9 series last August.
Recent leaks suggest an earlier-than-expected launch, potentially in March, with availability by month’s end. The anticipated starting price is $499 for the 128GB storage variant, mirroring its predecessor.
Rumored specifications include a 6.285-inch FHD+ OLED display with up to 2,700 nits peak brightness. The camera setup is expected to feature a 48-megapixel primary lens with OIS and a 13-megapixel ultra-wide lens. A 13-megapixel Sony IMX712 front-facing camera is also anticipated for selfies.
The Pixel 9a is also rumored to utilize the Tensor G4 chip, LPDDR5x RAM, and UFS 3.1 storage. A 5,100mAh battery with 23W wired and 7.5W wireless charging is expected. Other potential features include a Titan M2 security chip, an in-screen fingerprint sensor, and an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance.
In other news, the next-gen Pixel 10a might see a significant chipset downgrade. While the Pixel 10 series is expected to feature the TSMC-made Tensor G5, Google is reportedly considering using either a custom version of the G5 or the older Tensor G4 for the Pixel 10a. If the G4 is chosen, the Pixel 10a would be the first A-series phone with a year-old chipset, potentially limiting AI and camera features tied to the G5.
