Google has just revealed the 9a pixel and is launched in April It comes with a lot of new updates, including the G4 tensioner chip and a new screen The Google Pixel 9A begins at $ 499 / £ 499 / AU $ 849, sub -fence of the iPhone 16E
Google Pixel 9A is official and brings with it a combination of ordered updates to keep the budget phone shooting in all cylinders.
From $ 499 / £ 499 / AU $ 849, Pixel 9A is not as affordable as some models of the Pixel series of the past, but clues with the Pixel 8 of last year, and remarkably undermine the iPhone 16E.
Like the recent models of the series A Pixel, in a quick look, you will not see a large amount of difference in the 9A pixel on the full Google Pixel 9 of complete fat or, in fact, the outgoing pixel 8a. But dig more deeply, there are a set of changes here that could make it a new contender for our best list of cheap phones.

To start, Pixel 9A comes with a new design. The pixel 8 chamber bar and the pill -shaped module of Pixel and Pixel 9 Pro models have been abandoned for a smaller and more narrower module, which for my eyes has made the 9th look more compact.
Helping with that are new sides that are less rounded than those of the Pixel 8a but still curved at the top; This should cause Pixel 9a to feel a little more comfortable to grab for longer periods. The dust and water resistance of the phone have also been given an impulse, with the 9A pixel obtaining an IP68 rating. You simply do not wait for a glass, since Google has stayed with a plastic compound, which is more or less a signature of the Pixel A series.
However, you get a good variety of colors for Pixel 9a; There is the ‘iris’ in the lavender style, a shiny pink peon, the white’ white ‘white’ of porcelain and the always present ‘obsidian’ present.

An orderly but not immediately obvious update is the new “screen acts”, which comes to 6.3 inches larger and can now reach a maximum brightness of 2,700 nits; That is a decent jump of the maximum brightness of 2,000 nits of Pixel 8a.
A variable update speed from 60Hz to 120Hz remains present, but Google pointed out that the new screen is more scratch resistant than that of Pixel 8a, which should help the 9th be more durable than the oldest phone.

In the heart of Pixel 9a is the last G4 tensioner chip of Google, which is combined with 8 GB of RAM. Do not expect that Screaming RAW Gross Performance assumed the latest Snapdragon or Apple A-series chips, but awaits a performance capable of the type we have seen in Pixel 9 main models, as well as the characteristics of receptive.
Intelligent prosecution chops of the G4 tensor chip should also help make the most of the new main camera of 48 megapixels in Pixel 9A. What may seem a reduction in the pure resolution in the 64MP main chamber of Pixel 8a does not seem to be too consistent, since the new camera has a wider opening that should offer brighter photos, especially in quotations of little light.
There is an ultra 13MP camera, but now it has a macro approach mode, the first for the series A Pixel A, which should help deliver a snapped closing photos.
Around the front, you will find a F/2.2 camera of 13MP, which is commercial as usual for pixels phones, although the largest screen should help make selfies easier than ever.
The great update for the cameras will probably come from improvements in the sensor and the aforementioned processing power of the G4 tensioner chip.
But real photography chops will come in the form of the AI features, with the 9A Pixel obtaining the same set of tools with which its predecessor comes, but also those that were introduced with the Pixel 9 phone last year last year. These include Add Me, which allows users to combine two shots in one, together with updates to tools such as Magic Editor and Native Access to Pixel Studio, which allows you to create images with text indications.

Other characteristics of AI in the heart of Pixel 9a include Google Gemini and Gemini Live, the last of which allows it to have a natural conversation with the generative virtual assistant of AI.
There is also a robbery detection, which uses AI to identify possible attempts to rob and block the phone if necessary, and the detection of blockages, which also uses AI to detect when it could have had a blockade and alert emergency services.
Rounding all this is a larger battery, which reaches 5,100 mAh, which is a solid leap of 4,492 mAh in Pixel 8a, plus seven years of software support.
Could this be the best pixel phone for everyone?

Now I and the telephone team need a closer look at Google Pixel 9A before drawing conclusions. And I would advise you to wait for our full review before buying the phone when you are launched in April.
But Google rarely fails with the series A Pixel, and the 9th seeks to bring a decent mixture of updates to be a convincing phone at a tasty price. If that 48MP camera offers photography products, then the set of AI features, orderly design and a new screen must be the cherry cherry.
Keep all this into account and then contrast with the most expensive iPhone and less equipped, and I would say that Google has ashamed Apple in the affordable phones front. Pixel 9a offers much more for a piece of change less.
I think we could be watching a new budget telephone champion here, when all things are considered, and maybe an Android phone that I will recommend to most people. Be attentive to PakGazette for more and let me know your thoughts in the comments below.
