Meet Pixel 9a – engineered by Google with more than you expect, for less than you think. Like Gemini built in to supercharge your productivity and creativity[1]. An amazing camera for incredible photos. All-day battery[2]. Durable design. And 7 years of updates so it keeps feeling new[3]. All for less than you think.
1. Gemini mobile app available on select devices, and in select languages and countries. Internet connection required. Check responses for accuracy.
2. Estimated battery life based on testing using a median Pixel user battery usage profile across a mix of talk, data, standby and use of other features. Battery testing conducted on a major US operator network in California in late 2024 on pre-production hardware and software using default settings. Tests began with phones fully charged. Battery life depends upon many factors, and usage of certain features will decrease battery life. Actual battery life may be lower.
3. Pixel updates for 7 years from when the device first became available on the Google Store in the US.
Add Me: Take the Picture. And Be in It, Too
Add Me makes sure no one is left out of a photo. Take one with the group, then swap in the photographer, and Pixel magically merges both photos[1].
1. Results may vary. Not available for all cameras, apps or modes.
Durability: It’s Built to Last
Pixel 9a is designed to handle spills, dust, drops and dings. From IP68 water and dust protection to a scratch-resistant display and long-lasting materials, it’s the most durable Pixel A-Series phone yet[1].
1. Designed to comply with dust and water protection rating IP68 under IEC standard 60529 when each device leaves the factory, but the device is not waterproof or dustproof. The accessories are not water or dust resistant. Water resistance and dust resistance are not permanent conditions, and will diminish or be lost over time due to normal wear and tear, device repair, disassembly or damage. Phone is not drop/tumble proof, and dropping your device may result in loss of water/dust resistance. Damage from drops, tumbles and other external forces is not covered under warranty. Liquid damage voids the warranty.
Extensions: One Ask, Done Across Your Apps
Save time by asking Gemini to find information and get things done for you across your Google apps – like Maps, Calendar, Gmail and YouTube Music. It’s multitasking made easy[1].
1. Features may differ depending on subscription, and results may vary. Some extensions require setup. Country availability may vary. Check responses for accuracy.
Battery Life: The Dependable All-day Battery
The Adaptive battery on Pixel 9a can last over 30 hours. Need even more? Turn on extreme battery saver to make it last up to 100[1]. That’s big energy.
1. For ‘over 30 hours’: Estimated battery life based on testing using a median Pixel user battery usage profile across a mix of talk, data, standby and use of other features. For ‘up to 100 hours’: Estimated battery life based on testing using a median Pixel user battery usage profile across a mix of talk, data, standby and use of limited other features that are default in Extreme Battery Saver mode (which disables various features including 5G connectivity). For both claims: Battery testing conducted on a major US operator network in California in late 2024 on pre-production hardware and software using default settings, except that, for the ‘up to 100 hours’ claim only, Extreme Battery Saver mode was enabled. Tests began with phones fully charged. Battery life depends upon many factors, and usage of certain features will decrease battery life. Actual battery life may be lower. Over time, Pixel software will manage battery performance to help maintain battery health as your battery ages.
