Google Pixel 9a is gearing up for a launch somewhere in March 2025 as per the latest reports. While the release timeline is still a few months away, it never stops rumours and leaks to shed light on its key features.

We recently reported about the leaks suggesting the expected camera specs of the upcoming smartphone.

At the beginning of October, we had a trusted source posting some renders revealing the design of the phone. Now, the latest reports from the same trusted source are giving us a hint of what to expect when it comes to pricing.

It appears the Pixel 9a will keep the same price as its predecessor.

According to a recent report published on Android Headlines, the Pixel 9a will be priced at $499 in the US, just like the Pixel 8a. The phone is expected to come with a larger battery, significant design changes and some camera upgrades.

The same report also suggests that the Pixel 9a will weigh 186g, which is slightly lighter than the previous generation Pixel 8a.

This lightweight design is despite having a larger battery size. The phone will reportedly pack a massive 5000 mAh battery with 18W wired and 7.5W wireless charging supports.

The report further hints that the Pixel 9a will come with 8GB of RAM and offer storage options of 128GB or 256GB, similar to the Pixel 8a.

The display, on the other hand, will be a 6.3-inch 120Hz panel.

The same source in previous reports had confirmed that the upcoming phone will feature a 48MP main camera, a 13MP ultrawide lens and a 13MP front camera.

We know also know that powering the device will be Google’s Tensor G4 chip.

However, the report does not confirm if it will include the same updated modem used in other Pixel 9 series devices.

As the release time slowly approaches, we can expect more details to emerge with time.
