Google Pixel 9a to Feature 48MP Camera and New AI Tools

Highlights

• The Google Pixel 9a will feature a 48MP main camera instead of 64MP seen in previous “a” series models.
• The phone is expected to launch in March 2025.
• Other rumoured features include – a 6.1-inch OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, Google’s Tensor G4 chip, a 13MP front camera, AI-driven tools and more.

Google Pixel “a” series is one of the most popular Google phones in the market with fans always looking forward to its release. While the next-in-line Google Pixel 9a release is slowly approaching, we now have been hearing some new exciting details about the upcoming smartphone.

As per certain reports, Google’s upcoming Pixel 9a is expected to make some particular changes in the camera setup.

The phone will reportedly feature a 48MP main camera, which is a shift from the 64MP sensor we have seen previously used in models such as the Pixel 7a and Pixel 8a.

While we are learning that the previously used 64MP sensor experts believe a Sony IMX787 will be replaced, it is unclear what the new sensor will be.

A recent 9to5Google report suggests that there is possible the 48MP camera could use a cropped version of the same sensor. Google used a similar strategy in the Pixel Fold and Pixel 9 Pro Fold previously.

If this turned out to be true, the camera performance might not see a significant drop.

Other rumoured specs for the Pixel 9a include a 6.1-inch OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a dual-camera setup on the back.

The phone will likely be powered by Google’s Tensor G4 chip offering similar performance to the flagship Pixel 9 series.

However, the Pixel 9a may still use the older Exynos Modem 5300 with no satellite SOS capabilities. This is probably being done to keep the price more affordable.

As per rumours and leaks, the upcoming Pixel 9a is also expected to have a 13MP front-facing camera.

The device is expected to run on Android 15 delivering AI-driven photography tools like Magic Eraser and Photo Unblur.

The phone will most likely also feature the “Add Me” AI tool that debuted with the Pixel 9 series this year.

This AI-powered tool allows users to be added to group photos even after handing off the phone to someone else to take the picture.

As for the battery life, rumours suggest the expected battery capacity could be close to 4500mAh.

Google will most likely offer the Pixel 9a in four stylish colour options including Porcelain, Obsidian, Peony and Iris.

The Pixel 9a is anticipated to launch in March 2025. We can expect more details to surface closer to the release date.
