The Pixel 9a, like the Pixel 8a, is the final smartphone in its series. As a new budget-friendly option, it won’t feature all the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro capabilities. However, it includes many appealing elements, making it an excellent choice for many users.

Google says the Pixel 9a will be available in April for $499 and up. That makes it a little pricier than earlier Pixel 9a devices. But it’s still not a bad price for a mid-range phone that has a 120 Hz OLED display, the same processor as Google’s latest flagships, and a promise of 7 years of OS and security updates.
