Google announces the Pixel 9a

Posted by on

With the Pixel 9 being a huge hit (I'm really seeing a lot of them around, and on shows too), it's inevitable in the cycle the model comes out that is the economical version of this hot item.  Not everybody needs the 'top end' device.  For $679CDN you can get all the great features of the Pixel 9/9Pro and saving you a bunch

So it's got that slightly different style of the back camera array (giving us hints of what the 10 should look like?); no bump!

So here's the stats, and they didn't do a heck of a lot of shaving off, but you're saving $400!

From Google's highlights:

The Google Pixel 9a comes with more features than you expect, for less than you think, like Gemini built in to supercharge your productivity and creativity, an incredible camera, all-day battery, durable design and more - all for $679 CAD.

 

With four colour ways to choose from – Iris (newest to the family), Peony, Obsidian and Porcelain – there’s something to suit all preferences, from a pop of colour to a more neutral aesthetic.

 

Here are some key features of the Google Pixel 9a:

  • Easy photography: With a strong main and ultrawide camera, you won’t believe you actually took the photos. Night Sight enables you to capture amazing photos at night (including a short clip of the stars with Astrophotography) as well as the smallest details using Macro Focus, all available for the first time on an A-series phone.
  • Magic editing: With editing tools powered by Google AI, you can create perfect group photos with Best Take and fix blurry images with Photo Unblur, while Magic Editor can automatically reframe your photo, suggest the best crop and even expand your image to get more of the scene. 
  • Gemini: Your built-in assistant to help supercharge your ideas. Gemini can help you find info and take action across your Google apps on the go, like pulling party details from an invite in Gmail, as well as have a natural, free-flowing conversation with Gemini Live in real time. 
  • Built to last: Pixel 9a is Google’s most durable A-series phone yet. Built to last, this device has a metal frame, new scratch-resistant Actua display and improved IP68 protection for water and dust. With Pixel Drops, your phone will keep getting better over time with the addition of brand-new features, automatically updated for 7 years.

 

The Pixel 9a will be available to order at $679 CAD on the Google Store and at retail partners in April.
