2 min read Last Updated : Oct 01 2024 | 1:04 PM IST Google's Pixel 9a is anticipated to be launched in 2025 alongside four other new
Pixel devices
CAD-based renders of the Google Pixel 9a have surfaced online, according to consumer technology news platform Android Headlines that claimed
to have obtained a set of renders, sourced from OnLeaks, which previously revealed details about the recently launched Pixel 9
lineup. According to the report, the upcoming Pixel 9a will feature flat side rails and will depart from the visor look for the camera
housing that has become a signature design for Google since the Tensor reboot over the past few years
Instead, it will adopt a flat pill-shaped module housing two cameras with a small ring around them, aligned with the back of the phone,
feature the sensor placed on the right, similar to the iPhone 7 Plus
The SIM slot has reportedly been moved to the bottom, resembling the design of the Pixel 9 series smartphones
Modifications in design were hinted at in leaked images of the prototype in late August this year. The camera layout is expected to be
similar to that of the Pixel 9, and the device will feature an ultra-wide and a wide camera, along with a 6.1-inch display, 8GB of RAM, and
128GB of storage
Although the bezels at the bottom are expected to be slightly larger compared to the Pixel 9, the battery could receive an upgrade. The
Pixel 9a may ship with Android 15, unlike the Pixel 9 smartphones, and will receive seven years of updates, similar to the Pixel 8a launched
earlier this year
It may be the last Google device to be powered by a Samsung-based Tensor chip, according to Android Headlines
The reason for this transition is that Google is moving to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) for its Tensor chips, which
will reportedly power the 2025 Pixel smartphones
The Pixel 10 will receive a fully customised processor manufactured by TSMC.First Published: Oct 01 2024 | 1:04 PMIST
