Highlights
- The upcoming Google Pixel 9a will not feature Google’s signature camera bar design.
- The camera cutout is now positioned on the left side.

Several Google Pixel 9a leaks have already hinted at a major design change in the camera module. But now we have a new leak that confirms that Google is not only making any design change but simply moving away from its signature camera bar design for the upcoming Pixel 9a. Here’s what we know.
No Google Signature Camera Bar in Pixel 9a
The images of official Pixel 9a cases shared by Android Authority in its recent report reveal a major design shift. The case features the same shape and style as the Pixel 9 series complete with a “G” logo at the center and a soft microfiber lining inside.

However, the most noticeable change is the camera cutout, which is positioned on the left rather than spread on the entire width as we have seen in the Pixel 9, 9 Pro and 9 Pro XL. This confirms what earlier leaks suggested that the Pixel 9a will not have a camera bar.
The leaked images show Pixel 9a cases in four colour options including pink, black, purple and white. These most likely match Google’s previously leaked names – “Peony,” “Obsidian,” “Iris” and “Porcelain.”
Pixel 9a’s Front Design Leaked
Meanwhile, another leak from popular tipster Evan Blass on X (formerly Twitter) recently revealed the first look at the front of the Pixel 9a.
The image shows a design similar to the Pixel 9 and 9 Pro with rounded corners and a larger front-facing camera. The antenna lines along the edges can also be seen in the images. The wallpaper comes from Google’s Swirling Petals collection, though it doesn’t match any existing options in the Pixel 9 series.
Moreover, the Pixel Launcher appears unchanged, which isn’t surprising since major UI updates usually come with big Android releases.
Despite the low resolution of the render, the side and bottom bezels seem uniform, while the top bezel is slightly thicker. This suggests the Pixel 9a could follow the design language of Google’s 2024 lineup.
