Brad Linder<p>The Pixel 9a has less RAM than other members of the Pixel 9 series, so it'll only support a smaller version of the Gemini AI model that lacks support for multimodal features, so it'll have to offload more AI features to the cloud instead of running them on-device. <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Pixel9a" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pixel9a</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Google</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Gemini" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gemini</span></a> <a href="https://arstechnica.com/ai/2025/03/meager-8gb-of-ram-forces-pixel-9a-to-run-extra-extra-small-gemini-ai/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">arstechnica.com/ai/2025/03/mea</span><span class="invisible">ger-8gb-of-ram-forces-pixel-9a-to-run-extra-extra-small-gemini-ai/</span></a></p>

Brad Linder<p>Pixel 9a leak shows a new design that replaces the camera bar found on other recent Pixel phones with a pair of cameras that sit flush with the back of the phone. It's expected to have a 5100 mAh battery, $499 starting price, and come in four color options. <a href="https://buff.ly/40XI6CD" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">buff.ly/40XI6CD</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Pixel9a" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pixel9a</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/smartphones" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>smartphones</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/leaks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>leaks</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/GooglePixel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GooglePixel</span></a></p>
Brad Linder<p>Google's upcoming Pixel 9a is said to be a $499 phone with a Tensor G4 processor, 8GB RAM, 128GB (or 256GB) storage, a 6.3 inch display, 48MP primary camera and 13MP ultrawide and 5100 mAh battery. <a href="https://buff.ly/3ZP1KBt" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">buff.ly/3ZP1KBt</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/GooglePixel9a" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GooglePixel9a</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Pixel9a" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pixel9a</span></a></p>
Brad Linder<p>Google Pixel 9a will reportedly have a new 48MP primary camera with larger pixels than the 64MP camera in the Pixel 8a. It'll be paired with the usual 13MP ultra wide-angle camera. <a href="https://buff.ly/3NBHufw" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">buff.ly/3NBHufw</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Pixel9a" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pixel9a</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Smartphones" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Smartphones</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Leaks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Leaks</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/GooglePixel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GooglePixel</span></a></p>
Brad Linder<p>Leaked renderings of the upcoming Google Pixel 9a suggest it could drop the iconic camera bar and instead have dual rear cameras that sit flush with the back of the phone except for a small ring around the cameras. <a href="https://buff.ly/3Bo7xUK" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">buff.ly/3Bo7xUK</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Pixel9a" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pixel9a</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/leaks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>leaks</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/smartphones" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>smartphones</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Google</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/GooglePixel9a" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GooglePixel9a</span></a></p>
