The Google Pixel 9 series of four models — Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, and Pixel 9 Pro Fold — debuted last month. Now, the Pixel 9a is expected to join the family as the latest mid-range addition. Ahead of any official confirmation, a set of computer aided design (CAD) renders of the upcoming Pixel phone have surfaced online. They show significant changes on the back panel. The Pixel 9a is expected to ship with Android 15 and a Tensor G4 processor.

Pixel 9a design leaked with flush cameras

Android Headlines has obtained an image of the unannounced Pixel 9a in collaboration with well-known whistleblower OnLeaks. The CAD-based renders of the phone don’t feature a camera bezel or the iconic visor, with the cameras sitting flush with the back panel. Instead of a proprietary visor, a pill-shaped module covers two camera sensors.

The revealed design of the Pixel 9a resembles the LG V60 ThinQ. The Pixel phone appears to have prominent but consistent side bezels and flat edges. The rest of the phone is similar to other Pixel 9 phones.

The Pixel 9a will reportedly debut with Android 15 and will receive seven years of updates just like its predecessor. The rollout of the newest operating system is expected to begin on October 15. The report notes that this could be the last Google device to include Samsung’s Tensor chip, as Google plans to use TSMC for future processors in 2025.

Other specifications of the Pixel 9a are expected to be similar to the Pixel 8a. The latter includes a 6.1-inch display, 8GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, a 4,492mAh battery, and support for 18W wired fast charging. The Pixel 8a has a Tensor G3 SoC under the hood, but the upcoming model will get a Tensor G4 chipset.

Google’s Pixel 8a price in India is Rs. 52,999 for the 128GB variant. This was announced in the first week of May. The Pixel 9a is expected to go official around the same time next year.
