The $499 Pixel 9A is a follow-up to one of our favorite phones from 2024, the Pixel 8A. Google not only kept the price under $500 but also gave the phone a big 5,100 mAh battery. The Pixel 9A has a new design, however, that might rub some people the wrong way.

Can’t do simple price conversions on phones (and other US products) anymore. Will cost more due to tariffs
@sawyerleemoore

$500 USD is $716 CAD so fair price based on exchange.

THERE is no way ANYONE can justify and persuade ANYONE in buying this
@nickbromhall

Nonsense. If people are dumb enough to buy the iPhone 16e, then there’s nothing wrong with the 9A.

Why do these phones look the same 😢
@marksouthwell4490
March 19, 2025 at 4:51 pm
Because they’re all slabs
@Harsha_D
March 19, 2025 at 1:41 pm
@ 1:34 It’s really a dumb design. You may have seen this dull design in older OPPO smartphones (like it was 6 or 7 years back which were ‘OK’ish at that time). I think the Google Pixel team just used the “copy pasted” formula for the pixel 9A phone.
@marksouthwell4490
March 19, 2025 at 4:55 pm
Sshhhhh other phone companies will be copying the flat back look soon
@moisessilvaquintero42

I love how plastic was used for the back for the pixel 9a. I went from an S21 to an S25 and I preferred the plastic back of the s21. Glass just gives me that extra bit of anxiety that it might crack. I do have a case on my phone but it is still something that sits in the back of my mind.
@kawaiidere1023
March 19, 2025 at 8:51 pm
Same. Absolutely need a case for glass and even then it might still break. Plastic or metal are just so much nicer in the hand in a practical scenario
@rolins3279
March 19, 2025 at 1:51 pm
Hum 🤔
For $500, you can have, a OnePlus 12, S24 (Snapdragon), iPhone 15… but especially if you necessarily want a Pixel, a Pixel 9.

This phone destroys the 16e in every way
@marksouthwell4490
March 19, 2025 at 4:52 pm
Not in every way. I’ll leave you to think about that . I love pixels and iPhones 😉
@Ben-bj1oz
March 19, 2025 at 6:42 pm
@ bigger screen , bigger battery life , 120hz screen and cheaper (with likely discounts to come unlike Apple) . Sounds like a better phone to me

The Pixel 9a has the perfect balance and the best value for a midranger. Well done Google!
