As Pixel 9a release date approaches, hands-on leak shows off full design


Google's next mid-ranger looks a little different this year

Google’s iPhone 16e alternative is right around the corner, and in classic Pixel fashion, it’s surfaced online in a huge hands-on leak. The Pixel 9a has appeared in a new video from Shane Craig(via 9to5Google) that shows off the phone’s design in full, save for the screen. There’s a standard matte black backplate that’s likely made of plastic, a glossy ring around the cameras, a semi-shiny aluminum frame, and round corners.
