I love my Pixel 9 Pro.  I like the extra RAM and the zoom lens. If I wasn't so set on it, the 9 might be enough for me; but now there'd be the dilemma of should I save even a few bit more and get the 9a Here's how the 9 and the 9a compare on paper: Pixel 9a Pixel 9 $679 $1,099 2424x1080 2424x1080 60-120Hz 60-120Hz Tensor G4 Tensor G4 8GB RAM 12GB RAM 48MP + 13MP wide 50MP + 48MP wide 13MP selfie 10.5MP selfie 5100mAh 4700mah $400 savings.  Sure you'll lose some RAM, slightly slower speeds charging, and the cameras are a little less MP are near enough.  The nice jump is the battery.   I'll draft up my feelings in a few more days and give you a more fulsome review shortly.  In the meantime, if you have any questions, feel free to drop me a line!
