The new Google Pixel 9a is smart, powerful, and built to last
Google has announced its latest smartphone, the Pixel 9a. Equipped with the advanced Tensor G4 chip, a stunning OLED display, Gemini AI, and a top-tier camera system, it’s designed to handle your everyday needs, and then some.
Dazzling display
At 6.3 inches, the Google Pixel 9a’s Actua OLED screen with HDR support is sharp and vibrant, with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate for fast and fluid scrolling through social media or watching video content. Plus, with a peak brightness of 2,700 nits, visuals remain clear and crisp, even in bright sunlight.
As for durability, the Pixel 9a has an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance, a sturdy composite matte back, Corning Gorilla Glass 3 cover, and a recycled aluminium frame.
Power to perform
Under the bonnet, the Pixel 9a is powered by Google’s Tensor G4 chip, delivering dynamic performance and improved efficiency. Add 8GB of RAM to the mix and multitasking becomes effortless. Storage options include 128GB and 256GB models, as per the Google Pixel 9.
All-day battery life
Boasting a minimum 5,000mAh battery, the Pixel 9a promises over 24-plus hours of use, and if you need more, Extreme Battery Saver can bump it up to a whopping 100 hours.
Fast charging and Qi-certified wireless charging means you can power up quickly and conveniently, both at home and on the go.
Top-notch camera system
Cameras have always been a highlight of Google Pixel phones, and the Pixel 9a continues the trend with a 48MP Quad PD Dual Pixel main camera with optical image stabilisation and a 13MP ultra-wide lens for more spacious shots.
Super Res Zoom offers up to 8x zoom without losing detail, and the 13MP front camera (increased from 10.5MP on the Pixel 9) has a 96° ultra-wide field of view that’s perfect for group selfies.
Night Sight and Astrophotography modes ensure excellent shots in low light, and popular Google Pixel editing tools like Magic Eraser and Editor, Best Take, and Reimagine are integrated to make post-shot tweaks easier than ever.
The rear camera records 4K and 1080p video at 30/60fps, and there’s a suite of video tools for extra flexibility including stabilisation modes, 4K time-lapse, cinematic pan, and macro focus video.
Say hi to Gemini
Google’s Gemini AI assistant is onboard to maximise your creativity and productivity, with advanced search functions for your photos and files, a call transcription service, live language translation, and more.
Plus, Gemini Live lets you engage in a free-flowing conversation with the AI to brainstorm ideas, plan an activity, or learn something new.
Safe and secure
Smartphone security is paramount, and the Pixel 9a utilises Google’s Titan M2 chip and built-in VPN for added privacy. It also boasts seven years of OS and security updates, meaning you’ll stay protected and up-to-date for a long time.
There’s also tech onboard to keep you personally safe, with dedicated emergency SOS and car crash detection poised to notify your nominated contacts in the event of an emergency.
The bottom line
Boasting Android 15 out of the box, dual SIM support, stereo speakers, and strong 5G connectivity, the Google Pixel 9a delivers a premium smartphone experience at an affordable price. If you’re looking for a phone that’s smart, powerful, and packed with quality features, you've found it.
