Google Pixel 9a Key Details Surface Ahead Of Launch

Key details about the upcoming Google Pixel 9a have emerged through unofficial channels ahead of its official launch in the past few weeks. Now, a new listing from retailers in Germany and the UAE have revealed pricing details, colour options, and specifications, apart from the numerous video reviews and marketing materials which are already circulating online.

According to the German retail listing, the Google Pixel 9a will be priced starting at 549 euros for the 128GB storage configuration. Consumers will have four colour choices: Grey, Rose, Black, and Violet. The listing indicates shipping availability within 10-14 days, suggesting an official launch later this month.

In the UAE market, an advertisement features the Obsidian (Black) version of the Pixel 9a with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage at 2,350 dirham (approximately $640). 

This appears to be an unofficial unit, with leaks suggesting the actual retail price to begin at $500 in the US, 550 euros in Europe, or 500 pounds in the UK for the base model.

The specifications confirmed by the German retailer suggest the Pixel 9a will feature a 6.3-inch OLED display with FHD+ resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and an impressive 2,700-nit peak brightness, protected by Gorilla Glass 3. 

The device will be powered by Google's proprietary Tensor G4 processor, complemented by 8GB of RAM and storage options up to 256GB.

There will be a 48MP main camera paired with a 13MP ultra-wide lens. The smartphone will come preloaded with Android 15 and will be equipped with a substantial 5,100mAh battery.

Other reports suggest Google may offer a complimentary Google TV Streamer (4K) in some regions as a promotional offer.
