Leaked Images Show Google Pixel 9a Prototype
New leaked images of a purported Google Pixel 9a prototype have surfaced online, offering another glimpse at the upcoming mid-range phone. The images, shared by Fenibook on X (formerly Twitter), showcase a design that deviates from Google's signature camera bar, opting instead for a standalone camera module with the flash positioned to the right. The device's bezels appear similar to previous Pixel generations, and the images clearly show flat edges.
Design Shift and Potential Features
The Pixel 9a's move away from the camera bar design marks a notable shift for the series. Previous leaks suggest the phone will feature a modified Tensor G4 processor, a slightly larger size than the Pixel 8a, a new primary camera, and a significantly larger battery. The Xiaomi 15 Ultra's delayed launch demonstrates a similar focus on refinement.
Expected Launch and Previous Leaks
The Pixel 9a is rumored to launch as early as March 2025. Earlier leaks and renders have already hinted at the updated design, and this latest leak further solidifies the departure from the traditional camera bar.
