The Google Pixel 9a is right around the corner. As we exclusively revealed in October, Google is slated to release the Pixel 9a in mid-March, which isn’t that far away, considering this Saturday is February.
Now, we can exclusively reveal the pricing for the US and Canada, thanks to our sources. In the US, the Google Pixel 9a will be priced at $499 for the 128GB model, and $599 for the 256GB model. That is the same starting price as the Pixel 8a, however, the 256GB model is $40 more expensive. This follows the new pricing structure that Google started with the Pixel 9 series last August, where the 256GB model was $100 more than its 128GB version.
In Canada, pricing is a bit more flexible because of the weaker Canadian dollar, but currently, the pricing is $679 for 128GB and $809 for 256GB.
Google Pixel 9a will sport a 5,100mAh battery, Tensor G4 and 8GB of RAM
We have also revealed the complete spec sheet of the Pixel 9a already, back in December. Which included all of the specs that we expected to see, long with some that we were surprised to see. Like the much larger battery this year. The Pixel 9a will sport a 5,100mAh capacity battery, which is the largest battery that Google has ever put into a Pixel smartphone.
Pixel 9a will also remain as a smaller smartphone with a 6.285-inch display. This is going to be an Actua Display, with up to 2,700 nits of peak brightness and 1,800 nits of HDR brightness. Internally, we’re looking at the Tensor G4 processor with 8GB of RAM and either 128GB of storage or 256GB.
Google is also upgrading the main sensor this year, ditching the 64-megapixel primary camera for a 48-megapixel Quad Dual Pixel Camera. This is likely a larger sensor, so while the megapixel count is lower, it’s actually a really nice upgrade for the Pixel 9a. It will also sport a 13-megapixel ultrawide, and skip out on a telephoto once again.
As mentioned already, Pixel 9a should be on sale starting in Mid-March, with a price tag of $499.
