About Google Pixel 9a
The Pixel 9a adopted the flat-edge design language of the Pixel 9 series for the first time in the a-series line, and packed a massive 5100mAh battery, the largest ever fitted to a Pixel phone at the time. It kept the same Tensor G4 chip as the flagship Pixel 9 series, along with a 48MP main camera and Macro Focus, a first for the a-series. It launched in Porcelain, Obsidian, Iris, and Peony.
