Google has just announced, this Wednesday, March 19, 2025, its new Pixel 9a. Between redesigned design and increased performance, the American firm promises to end a historic defect in its smartphones.
Google finally lifts the veil on its new 9a pixel, after several weeks of waiting and leaks. On the program: new visual identity, improved performances, progression of artificial intelligence … The American firm breaks the codes and offers a smartphone to say the least original with regard to its predecessors. It also promises the end of a historic defect on its next device, to the delight of its customers.
Some new features on the program
With a visual that contrasts with its predecessors, the Pixel 9a sets the tone. No more the horizontal pill placed at the rear of the smartphone, which was however a signature element of the pixel line. The camera of the next Google smartphone, which has two photo sensors, will now be directly encrusted in the shell. Note that the flat, flat borders will adopt a color similar to that of the back of the device.
Otherwise, the design of the Google Pixel 9a remains unchanged to say the least. The revelations about his design do not surprise anyone, he was the source of leaks several weeks ago.
The Pixel 9a offers a slightly larger screen than its big brother, the Pixel 8A (6.1 against 6.3 inches), while it will be improved. The new Google smartphone will have a peak of 2700 nits, 700 more than the 8A Pixel.
The camera is also modified, the Google Pixel 9a with a main 48 Mpx-wide angle sensor and an ultra-angle of 13 Mpx. Note that the Pixel 8A included a main 64 Mpx sensor.
The end of a historic black point among the pixel
The Pixel 9a stands out especially for its battery, significantly improved compared to its predecessor. The autonomy of smartphones Google, often described by users, could soon be a black point for the American brand. Linternate had not failed to highlight the weakness of the battery of Google Pixel 9 Produring a test.
Previously limited to 4492 mAh in Pixel 8A, the battery of the new Google smartphone now reaches 5100 mAh. A clear progression which intends to a clearly optimized autonomy. This gain is mainly due to the disappearance of the rear horizontal pill, now confined to a simple pellet on the back of the Pixel 9a.
The Pixel 9A will be marketed on March 26, from € 549. An identical price at the Pixel 8A, published in May 2024. This good news is followed by another: the new Google smartphone is accompanied by 7 years of updates, promising a very extensive lifespan.
