Google’s upcoming Pixel 9a has generated plenty of buzz ahead of its official launch, which is expected to take place later this month, with availability set for late March. As the release date draws closer, leaks continue to surface, offering more insights into the device. A new hands-on video has emerged today, providing another detailed look at the phone.
The latest footage offers little in the way of surprises, but it does give us a closer look at the Pixel 9a’s design. As seen in the video, the device comes with an oval-shaped camera island that has a subtle protrusion from the back panel. The unit shown in the video is in Obsidian, a dark gray or black shade that’s expected to be one of the primary color options.

On the hardware side, the Pixel 9a is expected to feature Google’s custom Tensor G4 chipset, paired with 8GB of RAM. The device will likely come in two storage variants: 128GB and 256GB, offering enough space for most users. The 6.28-inch OLED display will boast an FHD+ resolution and reach a peak brightness of 2,700 nits, making it suitable for outdoor use and bright conditions.
In terms of cameras, the Pixel 9a is expected to feature a 48MP primary sensor, complemented by a 13MP ultrawide camera. Battery life is also a focus, with a 5,100mAh power cell providing all-day usage. This combination of hardware suggests that the Pixel 9a will offer solid performance, impressive photography capabilities, and a reliable user experience.
With the official launch just around the corner, we can expect to learn more about the Pixel 9a in the coming weeks.
