- Google has revealed that the Pixel 9a has a macro mode for photos and videos.
- This mode uses the main camera rather than the ultrawide lens as seen on other Pixel phones.
The Google Pixel 9a is finally official, and it looks like one of the best cheap phones of 2025. In saying so, one camera-related upgrade may have slipped under the radar.
Google confirmed that the Pixel 9a has a macro mode for taking close-up shots of subjects. However, the new phone takes macro shots via the 48MP main camera rather than with the ultrawide lens as is the case with high-end Pixel phones.
