Google Pixel 9a will be more expensive than its predecessor in one version

Scheduled for mid-March release, the Google Pixel 9a will retail at $499 for the 128GB model and $599 for the 256GB variant, marking a $40 price hike for the latter. This pricing strategy aligns with the recent trend from Google, mirroring Apple's established practices. Notable features include a 6.285-inch display with high brightness capabilities, a Tensor G4 chipset, 8GB of RAM, and an extensive camera system coupled with a 5,100 mAh battery, the largest in a Pixel series thus far.

The entry-level model with 128GB of storage will cost $499, just like the Pixel 8a did last year. However, the 256GB version will be $599, which is $40 more expensive.

The Pixel 9a will have a 6.285-inch screen with an impressive peak brightness of 2,700 nits and the big 5,100 mAh battery, the largest in any Pixel phone.
