The option of Google of Apple iPhone 16E is called Pixel 9A. With the new A-Class, Google follows the proven concept of the mid-range pixel, but the design goes to other ways. The visually, the pixel 9A has very low with other current pixels.
The camera battery on the back since Pixel 6 has been a primary design element of Google smartphone. In Pixel 9A, it falls to the side of a simple black element, with two cameras and only stands out minimally from the back. Pixel 9A, which is available in black, white, blue and pink colors, does not look like a member of the Pixel family. At a time when smartphone makers are usually difficult to get out of the crowd, this decision is amazing.
But as well known, optics are not everything, and most smartphones will disappear in a shell anyway. Technically, Pixel 9A has a lot more with expensive sister models, especially processors. The Google Tensor G4 9A is weak on the chest for the luxury class while talking about computing and graphics performance for the price range, which costs 549 euros, but has a lot of dimensions. SOC AI is also more customized for performance. The Titan-M2 security chip is also on the board.
A symmetrical but rather broad frame moves around the 6.3 -inch display. The OLED screen represents 2424 x 1080 pixels, the glow of up to 1800 cd/m Ed in the regular operation and promises 2700 cd/m of glow in the top. The performance supports fresh rates from 60 to 120 Hz. For comparison: In more expensive iPhone 16E, only 60-Hertz display-a clear losses, animations and scrolling looks more smooth with high frame rates.

Two cameras and seven years update
Unlike Apple, which only gives a single camera to the entry-level iPhone, the Pixel 9a Two in Google is included on the back: a 48-megapixel sensor and a main camera with a 13-megapixel ultra-verge angle. The front camera takes pictures up to 13 megapixels. Cameras bring a lot of AI -backed tasks, such as “Add me” offered with Pixel 9, in which the photographer can be attached to the group’s photo with another photo. 9A’s macrome mode is also new to Pixel Middle Class. In image editing options, other AI games such as magical eraser or the best faces exchange can be found in a group photo.
The Pixel 9A given with Android 15 comes with AI’s AI Assistant Gemini. Like other current pixels, 9A of Google is supplied with updates for seven years.
In the housing, which is protected against dust and water as per IP68, Google also hid 8 GB RAM and 128 or 256 GB of expandable flash memory and a battery with a capacity of 5100 mAh. A fingerprint sensor is embedded on the display, and facial draws can be used through the front camera. The only cable connection is USB-C-3.2 port, Google Pixel 9A does not have a jack socket. The smartphone supports a nano SIM and ESIM and sparks in the near area through Bluetooth 5.3 and WiFi 6E.
