Google reveals the new Pixel 9A for $ 499
Google followed Ocean of the ocean of leaks With the official announcement of its Pixel 9A smartphone, which will sell at $ 499. Probably the biggest change in the new A-Series model is its appearance, such as removing the camera on the back of the phone. In the 9A camera body is "Slightly domed," Sitting almost washing with the rest of the frame, giving this medium model a more elegant appearance. There are also new colors for this series – a pale purple duplicate iris and a vital pink named Peony – joining the usual porcelain and obsidian options. (The peony option is similar to that of Pricier Pixel 9.)
Our senior reviewer Sam Rutherford has already managed to check the new device personally and you can read why he thinks Pixel 9a can be "The new King of mid -range smartphones." But here are the details before you focus on his impressions.
The Pixel 9A also gets a chip upgrade, moving to Google’s Tensor G4 processor from G3, which was in Google’s excellent Pixel 8aS The performance in 8A was already quite good, so expect even more smooth control with the G4. As with 8A, 9A is equipped with 8GB RAM and comes with 128GB or 256GB of memory. The new A-series also promises "30+ hours of battery life."
The cameras were a big reason why we liked the Pixel 8A, calling it to our best choice for mid -range smartphoneS The body is different in 9A, but there are slightly different specifications inside. The rear double cameras in 9A offer 48MP wide and 13MP Ultra -shaped lenses, while the front is equipped with a 13MP selfie camera; 8A had a 64MP wide in the rear camera. It will support features powered by AI, such as Magic Editor, Magic Eraser, Best Take and Photo Unblur. Google brings the Macro Focus in A-Series for the first time for many details closely. There is also a night view to help you improve your night photography.
It is worth noting that after the message, Ars Technica reported that because the Pixel 9A is delivered with 8GB RAM, this is "forced to" rely on "Extra small" AI twin model. The article also notes that it means "Some of the biggest AI features of Google do not work at 9A."
9a will be available in the US and Canada in North America, as well as in many other countries in Europe and the Asia -Tihoetan region. Google says the device will be available in April, with no more details for a specific time.
