Google Pixel 9a is coming to the Indian market. The launch date will vary depending on the country but the event is scheduled to go live in the next few hours from the time of drafting this article. The Pixel community is waiting to get its hands on the new Android piece because it commits to bringing multiple improvements at a decent price for a mid-segment smartphone. From a competition’s perspective, Google Pixel 9a is likely to lock horns with the Apple iPhone 16 series and Nothing Phone.
On that note, Flipkart is currently offering Google Pixel 8 with a price reduction of approximately ₹30,000/-. One can assume it is a stock clearance sale as there is no official word on the ~34% price cut for the 128GB variant.
Google Pixel 9a Features
The 6.3-inch display screen comes with a 120Hz refresh rate and Gorilla Glass 3 protection. The Android smartphone reportedly sports an IP68 rating for dust and water protection. The slim-cut mobile device by Google is powered by a 5,100mAh battery which can be charged using either a 23W wired offering or a 7.5W wireless charging base.

The Android smartphone will have a steady 8GB RAM with an option to choose storage capabilities - 128GB and 256GB. One more component that is anticipated is the Android version. A report by Gadgets 360 says that Google Pixel 9a will operate on Android 15.
Now to the core component for every user - Google Pixel 9a camera. It will have a dual set at the back side and a single selfie camera setup at the front. The back side will be a combination of a 48MP plus 13MP ultrawide sensor camera. The front selfie camera will be 13MP, sufficient for VLOGS and video calls. Facial recognition, which should ideally be available in the new Android smartphone, will function on the same selfie camera.

Actual price tags are expected to be revealed during the launch or at the retailer’s space. A few reports have rounded up the price to ₹50,000/-. The final price will be subjected to discounts, exchange offers, or any other bank-related price cuts applicable at the time of purchase.
