Google has announced that it will release the Pixel 9A in the US, Canada, and the UK on April 10th. The budget-friendly device was initially expected to launch shortly after its reveal on March 19th, but Google delayed it to investigate a “component quality issue.”
The Pixel 9A will arrive throughout the rest of Europe on April 14th, while Australia, India, Singapore, Taiwan, and Malaysia will see the device on April 16th. Google says the phone is “coming soon” to Japan. You still can’t preorder the Pixel 9A on Google’s site, but you can sign up to get notified when it’s available.
The Pixel 9A starts at $499 and comes with a larger display than its predecessor, an upgraded Tensor G4 chip, and a design that ditches the Pixel’s prominent camera bump for a flat back. Despite having support for Google Gemini, it runs a more limited version of the AI model, resulting in it missing features like Pixel Screenshots and Call Notes.
