Rumour mill seems to be buzzing with brewing Google Pixel 9a updates off late. While the recent leaked renders have already given a glimpse and hinted at a major design change, we now have more concrete details about dimensions and possible colour variants.

According to a recent report published on Android Headlines, the Pixel 9a will see a slight size adjustment compared to its predecessor the Pixel 8a. Just to remind, we already know that Pixel 9a is moving away from the iconic camera bar.

As per the recent update, the upcoming Pixel smartphone will be a bit taller, wider, and thinner. The leaked dimensions suggest we are getting a smartphone measuring 154 x 73 x 8.6 mm. Compared to this, Pixel 8a was 152.1 x 72.7 x 8.9 mm.

It is important to note that slight changes in dimensions most likely won’t impact screen size much. However, online speculators believe it could have an effect on battery capacity. This is mainly because the thinner body might reduce space for a bigger-size battery. However, another theory suggests the increased height and width could help always provide more space for the battery if the brand wants it.

The Android Headline report also reveals the four colour options that we might get for the Pixel 9a.

Apart from the standard “Obsidian” (black) and “Porcelain” (white) colour options, Google is reportedly introducing two new shades. These are a pink colour option similar to the Pixel 9 named “Peony” and a bluish-purple hue named “Iris”.

This is particularly notable since Google hasn’t released a purple phone since the Pixel 3a in 2019. Pixel 3a featured a light “Purple-ish” colour.

As of now more details about the upcoming Pixel phone are awaited.

The Pixel 9a is expected to launch in 2025 along with the five new smartphones from Google planned for release.
