Google is likely to announce the Pixel 9a soon. As we wait for the formal announcement, a set of new high-resolution renders has leaked online offering a clearer look at the Pixel 8a successor. The renders showcase the phone in four colour options. The Pixel 9a appears to have a new rear camera module design, flush with the rear panel. This is a departure from the visor-like camera island of Pixel 8a. The Pixel 9a is expected to ship with Android 15 and Tensor G4 processor.

Tipster Sudhanshu Ambhore (@Sudhanshu1414) shared official-looking renders of Pixel 9a on X. The renders without a watermark show the phone in black, pink, gold, and blue colour options. Google is expected to market these colours as Obsidian, Peony, Porcelain, and Iris.

At the back, the alleged Pixel 9a appears to have a dual rear camera setup that's arranged horizontally in a pill-shaped camera island. The camera module is positioned slightly to the left and is nearly flush with the rear panel, marking a departure from Google's signature camera visor. The Google logo appears to be arranged at the centre of the back.
