The Google Pixel 9a 2025 is here and offering a Google Pixel AI experience at a lower price point.
As usual, Google has released an ‘a’ version that takes the most requested features of the 9-series and packages them in an affordable phone. To bring it in at this price it reduces camera/RAM specs but under the hood it’s the same Google Tensor G4 processor.
Here are the basic Google Pixel 9a 2025 specs
