Exclusive: Pixel 9a Specs Confirmed – All the Details!

We’re getting closer and closer to the Pixel 9a being announced by Google. While we’ve already confirmed a number of specs about the device, we now can confirm the entire spec sheet, from multiple sources. This spec sheet comes from a wireless carrier source, and was confirmed by a second source. So this is pretty legit.

Let’s start off with the big stuff. So, Google Pixel 9a will be powered by the Google Tensor G4 processor, as expected. And that comes with the Titan M2 security chip, 8GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 128GB or 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage. Pixel 9a will also sport a 6.285-inch Actua Display which will have a peak brightness of 2,700 nits and HDR brightness of 1,800 nits. This display is protected by Gorilla Glass 3, which is older, but it is also less likely to scratch compared to some of the new versions of Gorilla Glass.

The camera setup will mostly remain the same. We’re looking at a 48-megapixel GN8 Quad Dual Pixel primary camera, with an aperture of f/1.7. And an ultrawide camera that is the Sony IMX712. This is a 13-megapixel sensor with an aperture of f/2.2. This is the same camera being used for the front-facing camera.

Finally, the Pixel 9a is being powered by a 5,100mAh capacity battery. That is about 13% larger than the Pixel 8a’s battery capacity, in the same physical size phone. Charging speeds have improved, slightly. We’re now looking at 23W wired charging, however wireless charging is still 7.5W and does not support Qi2. And it will also be rated at IP68 for water-resistance and dust-resistance, just like previous Google Pixel a models.

Pixel 9a will be slightly taller, wider, however it will weigh less

Despite having a 13% larger capacity battery this year, the Pixel 9a will be just a tiny bit taller and wider, and surprisingly it will also weigh less. Dimensions for the Pixel 9a are 154.7 x 73.3 x 8.9mm, and it’ll weigh 185.9g. Compared to the Pixel 8a which was 152.1 x 72.7 x 8.9mm with a weight of 188g. That’s just enough change to make sure that Pixel 8a cases won’t work with the Pixel 9a. However, when using the device, you likely won’t notice a huge difference.

The Pixel 9a will come in Obsidian, Porcelain, Iris and Peony, the same colors as the vanilla Pixel 9. We can also confirm pricing, which will remain the same this year. That’s $499 for the 128GB model, and an extra $50 for the mmWave model that will be specific for Verizon.
