For a couple of months, there has been news about the Google Pixel 9a launch happening soon. By now, we know it is around mid-March 2025, possibly before (or during) Google I/O 2025. Well, although it is still a few months to go, this hasn’t stopped tipsters from uncovering details, including the latest around its battery capacity along with a hoard of other details.
Google Pixel 9a Battery Capacity Leaked
Cutting to the case, an Android Headlines report on Google Pixel 9a battery specs mentions a capacity of 5,000mAh. For context, Pixel 8a’s battery is at 4,492 mAh which makes Pixel 9a’s around 11.31% larger.
For obvious reasons, it means the Pixel 9a will bring improved battery life akin to the Pixel 9 Pro XL (at 5,060mAh). This allows you to do more stuff on your Pixel without looking for a charging plug now and then.
The charging front looks like 18W of wired and 7.5W wireless charging engaged as usual. Although this is way behind the flagship Pixel 9 series, you are also paying much less so it’s fine, I guess.
Google Pixel 9a Specifications — Something You Should Be On The Lookout For
According to the source, we can paint a picture of what to expect with the Pixel 9a. On top of the leaked Google Pixel 9a renders and design, the phone will bring on-board a 6.3” display with 60-120Hz adaptive refresh rate. It is 0.2” bigger than the Pixel 8a that had a 6.1” display on-board. It actually makes Pixel 9a similar to Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro bridging the gap between flagship and cost-friendly A-series of Pixel phones.
Moving on, the phone will retain the Tensor G4 from the Pixel 9 series that shall bring improved performance (and again, that’s a given). We will see 8GB RAM and 128/256GB storage variants with the Pixel 9a. Also, there’s Android 15 out-of-the-box handling all your tasks with a bucket-load of features co-powered by Gemini AI.
When it comes to cameras, Pixel phones have already been on top irrespective of their flagship or budget titles. Pixel 9a is speculated to bring a 48MP sensor on-board along with a 13MP ultrawide cam with a seemingly larger point of view (PoV). The specifics are yet to be determined.
