Google’s upcoming Pixel 9a leaked in CAD-based renders yesterday, and today we have a new leak that gives us some more details about it.
It will allegedly be offered in four colors, which Google will call Porcelain, Obsidian, Peony, and Iris. To translate into English, we are talking about white, black, pink-ish, and purple-blue-ish, respectively.
This means no more Aloe and Bay, colors that were offered on the Pixel 8a. The Pixel 9a will be 154 mm tall and 73 mm wide, making it about 1.9 mm taller and 0.3 mm wider than its predecessor. On the other hand, the new phone will be thinner at 8.5 mm vs. the 8a’s 8.9 mm.
In real life use you are of course unlikely to notice any of these minute differences unless you have both devices side by side and go looking for them.
The Pixel 9a is currently expected to be unveiled in May at Google’s I/O developer conference, though with the company recently changing its hardware announcement and release schedule (the Pixel 9 family was made official two months earlier than usually), we wouldn’t be surprised if it actually lands sooner. Even Android 16 is now rumored to arrive early.
