"First, it has a clear, bright display -- up to 2,700 nits of peak brightness versus the Pixel 8a's 2,000. The improved luminance is especially noticeable outside in direct sunlight, something we called out during our testing. As far as everyday use goes, the Pixel 9a is snappy and responsive, with the same Tensor G4 chipset as the Pixel 9 series models with 8GB of RAM. Google says the Tensor G4 chip is 30% faster in web browsing over last year's Tensor G3."
"It really shines with the battery life, however. The 9a is one of the longest-lasting Pixel phones we've tested, with a 5,100mAh capacity that sets a new record for Google. Even with a camera-heavy workflow, we were able to squeeze out 1-2 extra hours of use compared to the Pixel 8a, while the new flush camera design makes it a lot more compatible with wireless charging stations."
Google Pixel 9a is available for $349 on Amazon during Black Friday, a 30% reduction that makes it a compelling under-$500 Android option. The phone features built-in AI, broad carrier flexibility, and seven years of OS and security updates. The display peaks at 2,700 nits for superior outdoor readability. Performance comes from the Tensor G4 chipset paired with 8GB of RAM, improving responsiveness and web browsing speed. A 5,100mAh battery provides class-leading longevity, though charging is limited to 23W. The 48MP camera is serviceable for casual users with some trade-offs in zoom.
