The 6.3-inch size would make it larger than the past few generations of A-series Pixel phones, including the 8A, 7A, and 6A — all of which came with a 6.1-inch display. Along with a screen size increase, the Pixel 9A is also rumored to come with a top refresh rate of 120Hz, Google’s Tensor G4 chipset, 8GB of RAM, and up to 256GB of storage.
Renders of what appears to be the Pixel 9A suggest that Google is making some big design changes to the phone as well. The Pixel’s prominent camera bar is absent from the rear of the phone, while the two camera sensors are placed in pill-shaped housing instead. According to Android Headlines, the Pixel 9A could feature a 48-megapixel (MP) primary camera, a 13 MP ultrawide camera, and a 13 MP front-facing lens. It’s also rumored to have a 5,000mAh battery — slightly larger than the 4,492mAh battery in the Pixel 8A.
We still don’t know when Google will reveal the Pixel 9A, but Android Headlines reports that its launch will be held in March. The phone will also reportedly retain the same $499 price as the Pixel 8A.
