Google Pixel 9a Design, Marketing Images Leaked

Google Pixel 9a could be launched globally in the coming days, according to recent reports, and the company's next midrange smartphone has surfaced online. Tipster Evan Blass (@evleaks), who has a good track record of leaking details of unreleased smartphones, has shared design renders showing the Pixel 9a in four colourways, along with marketing images that give us a look at the smartphone's features. The Pixel 9a is expected to arrive in Iris, Obsidian, Peony, and Porcelain colourways, and all four options are seen in one of the leaked renders. The handset is seen with several water droplets on the rear panel, which appears to be a reference to its IP rating — previous reports suggest the successor to last year's Google Pixel 8a will arrive with an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance.In addition to the renders, the tipster also shared marketing images of the purported Google Pixel 9a, while additional pictures show the handset in the Iris (Purple) colourway. These images tease the smartphone's support for using Google Gemini with the company's apps (such as Google Calendar), Pixel drops, as well as camera and ecosystem features.
