Pixel 9a leaks show a very unremarkable design, especially from the back. The design identity that Google worked hard to establish is gone.

The Google Pixel 9a will not only apparently be coming earlier next year, it'll bring with it some noticeable changes. It'll likely have a taller and narrower body with a greatly reduced camera bump, a Tensor G4 chipset (but with an old modem) and four total color options.

Google appears to be shifting its Pixel release schedule, with the Pixel 9a potentially arriving earlier than expected in 2025.
