The highly anticipated Google Pixel 9a is set to release on March 19th. Recent leaks have shown the phone in various settings, including a Lucha Libre match, and unboxing videos are now available on YouTube. The most extensive video comes from YouTuber Sahil Karoul, who tests the phone’s rear cameras and design.
The Pixel 9a boasts a flat rear panel with minimal camera bump, a significant change from the current design language. The phone also features an iPhone-like flat frame, but its front design is marred by large bezels surrounding the 6.3-inch display. This gives the phone an outdated look that seems out of place on a mid-range device in 2025.
The video confirms that the Pixel 9a packs a more efficient Tensor G4 chip and a 5,100mAh battery, which should provide longer battery life. However, it’s unclear if the phone will deliver any other surprises beyond design changes.
Leaked pricing suggests that the entry-level variant won’t receive a price bump despite the notable design changes and beefier battery. In some markets, it may even come with a free Google TV Streamer, offering incredible value for money. With its release date just days away, Google is set to officially unveil the Pixel 9a on March 19th.
