You’ll soon be able to experience Google’s suite of AI features for a much more affordable price, thanks to the new Pixel 9a midrange smartphone. Going on sale in Singapore from April 2025 onwards, the Pixel 9a is powered by the same Google Tensor G4 chip and will offer the same AI smarts as its older brothers.
The dual rear camera array has a 48MP main camera and a 13MP ultrawide. Nifty photography features like Add Me, where two photos are taken and stitched together to include everybody in a group, will be available for the first time on an A-series phone.
Of course, existing features like Magic Eraser, Night Sight, Astrophotography and more will also be present.
The display has been upgraded with a super bright 6.3-inch Actua display that can get up to 2,700 nits of peak brightness and offers a 120Hz refresh rate for smooth content viewing and gaming.
Google’s Gemini assistant is built-in, along with other nifty AI features like Circle to Search. The large 5,100mAh battery inside is able to provide up to 30 hours of battery life, according to Google, and the IP68 dust and water resistance means you won’t have to worry about splashes of water or dust killing your phone.
The Pixel 9a will run Android 15 out of the box and Google promises seven years of OS and security updates.
THE PIXEL 9A IS PRICED FROM S$799 AND WILL BE AVAILABLE IN THE OBSIDIAN, PORCELAIN, PEONY AND IRIS COLOURWAYS HERE.
