Google’s Pixel 9a should be officially unveiled in May next year. Initial leaks and early photos over the past few weeks suggested a bezel-less design for the device with thicker bezels. Now the exact dimensions and color options of the mid-range smartphone have surfaced on the web. The Pixel 9a will reportedly be available in four shades like its predecessor. Color options could include a new shade called ‘iris’. The Pixel 9a is expected to be thinner than the Pixel 8a.
The Pixel 9a could be available in four colors
According to a report by Android Headlines, the Google Pixel 9a will be released in four colors — Porcelain (white), Iris (bluish purple), Obsidian (black) and Peony (pink). The Pixel 8a launched in Aloe, Bay, Obsidian and Porcelain shades, and Google seems to be ditching the Aloe and Bay shades in favor of Peony and Iris. The recently launched Pixel 9 is also available in Peony shade.
The Pixel 9a is said to be about 2mm taller and a millimeter wider than its predecessor. The upcoming model will reportedly have a taller, wider and thinner build with dimensions of 154x73x8.5 mm, compared to its predecessor’s dimensions of 152.1x 72.7×8.9 mm. It will probably come with a smaller battery.
Google Pixel 9a: What we know so far
Leaked CAD renders for the Pixel 9a suggested a flat camera housing with Google’s signature camera visor. It appears to have dual rear cameras arranged in a pill-shaped module that sits almost flush with the back panel. It is expected to debut with Android 15 and receive seven years of updates like its predecessor. It could run on the Tensor G4 chipset.
Google usually announces its Pixel A series phones at its annual Google I/O keynote, in May every year. Hence, the Pixel 9a is expected to break the headlines in May 2025.
