The Pixel 9a has officially launched in the United States after a delay due to component quality issues. Starting at $499 for the 128GB model and $599 for the 256GB version, this mid-range phone comes in several colors: Obsidian (black), Porcelain (off-white), Iris (light purple), and the eye-catching Peony (pink).
However, potential buyers should be aware of a limitation concerning color and storage options. If you’re interested in the Peony or Porcelain variants, you will only find them in the 128GB configuration.
Those wanting the larger storage capacity will need to settle for either the Iris or Obsidian colors. This restriction affects both the Google Store and Amazon, meaning it’s unlikely to find these specific color combinations in the 256GB model at other retailers.
The Pixel 9a brings significant enhancements when compared to its predecessor, the Pixel 8a. It features a larger display and boasts the highest-capacity battery ever seen in a Pixel device, ensuring all-day usage.
Additionally, the camera system has undergone a complete redesign, promising improved photography capabilities. While it is possible that Google may introduce more color and storage combinations in the future, for the time being, buyers in the higher storage tier are limited to just two color choices.
An in-depth review detailing all the aspects of the Pixel 9a will be available soon on Android Authority, providing readers with comprehensive insights into its features and performance. Keep an eye out for it!
