Google Pixel Pixel 9a 5G 6.3'' 8GB RAM 128GB ROM Android 15 Nano SIM - Obsidian

The design has been updated and is now flatter and more in line with the other Pixel 9 devices. The display has grown a bit since last year and is now 6.3 inches instead of 6.1. It is brighter as well. All the while, the device's overall footprint hasn't changed much, and neither its thickness nor weight has been affected. The latter point is particularly impressive since the Pixel 9a has the biggest battery out of any pixel to date.

The camera setup has also been upgraded, and so has the chipset. You now get a Tensor G4 chipset. That brings about some other niceties, like a dual-band GPS. Also likely related is the upgraded battery charging rate of 23W.

In keeping with tradition, the Pixel 9a offers the core Pixel experience, including a computational camera and various tools, AI and otherwise, on a budget. At current pricing, the regular Pixel 9 is admittedly a bit close.  The advanced Pixel Camera with AI takes sharp, vivid photos and videos in any light or from far away. Get higher quality selfies using the powerful rear camera

Unsurprisingly, you don't get much in the way of accessories. The Pixel 9a just ships with a single USB Type-C to Type-C cable. No charger and no additional accessories are present.
