We’ve had Pixel phones leak in the back of rideshares and various forms of public transit, but the latest pre-release look at the Pixel 9a comes from a separate leak about the Galaxy S25 Edge.
Someone on YouTube posted a “Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge Camera Samples” Short today. The video has since been removed, but for a few seconds we randomly saw a black — presumably “Obsidian” — Pixel 9a.
We saw the back of the 2025 mid-ranger, with the “G” logo confirming that this is final hardware rather than a prototype, like in September’s leak.
It might just be the zoom-level (or the quality of Samsung’s early hardware/software) and bad lighting, but the chamfered edge between the side rail and back plate seems a bit more pronounced — if not flatter and larger/wider — than the retail renders that have previously emerged.
Meanwhile, this short clip provides a good look at the pill-shaped camera and its minimal bump. (The flash cutout looks rather large next to it.)
This leak-ception is certainly unexpected as the rumored Pixel 9a launch nears.
