The Pixel 9a from Google is expected to be available in stores later this month. Several leaks that have lately surfaced have shown the hardware, design, and US pricing of the Pixel 8a successor, even though Google has not yet announced a launch date for the new Pixel A series phone.

The Pixel 9a is expected to be launched by Google on March 19, and pre-orders may start the same day with reports hinting at a sale date of March 26 in various regions.

According to a recent leak, the price of the Pixel 9a will be comparable to that of its predecessor. The new Pixel model is reportedly going to get a 48MP dual rear camera unit and powered by the same Tensor G4 chipset as the premium models.
