Some possible Google Pixel 9a colors have leaked, including two new shades

Four colors, two of which are new

News By James Rogerson published 2 October 2024

Just a day ago we saw detailed renders of the Google Pixel 9a, and now the same source is back with a list of colors that the phone might be available in.

According to Android Headlines, the Pixel 9a will be sold in Porcelain (off-white), Obsidian (black), Peony (pink), and Iris (bluish-purple) shades. You can already get the Pixel 8a in Porcelain and Obsidian, but that phone is additionally available in Aloe (green) and Bay (blue) colors – two shades that will reportedly be ditched for the upcoming model.

However, the standard Google Pixel 9 is available in Peony, too, so it’s only Iris that would be particularly new.

Taller, wider, and slimmer

Aside from colors, this latest leak also includes dimensions, with the Google Pixel 9a apparently being 154 x 73 x 8.5mm. For comparison, the Google Pixel 8a is 152.1 x 72.7 x 8.9, so that would make the upcoming model slightly taller and wider but thinner.

Android Headlines notes, however, that this dimension change could mean a smaller battery, especially as the camera reportedly sits almost flush with the back of the phone – meaning more of the internal space might be taken up with camera components than on the Pixel 8a.

That camera design – which you can see in supposedly leaked images of the Pixel 9a – represents a major design change, and one that would see it stand out from the rest of the Pixel 9 line, and indeed the Pixel 8a, for better or worse.

Beyond the possible design and colors, we don’t know much about the Pixel 9a yet, although it’s likely to have a Tensor G4 chipset, like the other Pixel 9 models. For everything else, we expect we’ll learn more through leaks and rumors in the months preceding its launch, which, based on past form, will probably happen in May.
