What do you think of the Pixel 9a — Hot or Not?

The Google Pixel 9a brings plenty of upgrades over the Pixel 8a at an unchanged starting price of $499. That said, the 256GB model is now $50 more expensive and comes in at $599.

What’s improved, you ask? For one, the phone is powered by Google’s flagship Tensor G4 processor that also runs inside the more premium Pixel 9 series, albeit with a weaker modem. What’s probably the most impressive feature Google has achieved is that the Pixe 9a now packs a sizeable 5,100mAh battery — the biggest on any Pixel handset to date. Yes, it’s even bigger than the battery inside the Pixel 9 Pro XL!
