The Google Pixel 9 series launched earlier this month, and live images of the Pixel 9a already surfaced online. Do note that we have no idea if it is legit, though. This image comes from a private group on Facebook.

That is a Vietnamese group, and we’ve seen tons of Pixel leaks from Vietnam in the last year or so. From that point of view, it fits. Also considering the design presented here, this could easily be the Pixel 9a.

Alleged live images of the Google Pixel 9a have surfaced online

If you check out the two images above, you’ll see what I’m talking about. The first one shows us the front and bottom sides of the device, while the second gives us a look at the back and the right side.

From the front, the device looks similar to its Pixel 9 siblings. It has a flat display, with a centered display camera hole. The bezels won’t be as thin as on the Pixel 9 or Pixel 9 Pro, it seems, though.

A Type-C port, a loudspeaker grille, and a SIM slot are all located at the bottom. The power/lock button sits above the volume up and down buttons on the right. The frame is flat all around, and it curves slightly towards the edges. It’s basically the same design approach as Google had for the Pixel 9 series.

This phone has two cameras on the back, with seemingly inferior camera hardware compared to the Pixel 9

You’ll notice two cameras on the back and an LED flash next to them. This is a completely different design than what the Pixel 9 series offers. This camera island barely protrudes on the back and looks considerably different than the one on the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, and Pixel 9 Pro XL.

That actually leads us to believe that the Pixel 9a will have considerably inferior camera hardware. Well, presuming these two images are legit, of course. You will also notice a placeholder logo on the back of this phone.

The Google Pixel 8a was launched only three months ago, in May. The Pixel 9a is not expected to arrive before May next year, so this leak comes very, very early. There is a chance it’s not accurate, so keep that in mind.
