Google Pixel 9a 5G (Obsidian, 8GB RAM, 256GB Storage)

The Pixel 9a brings Google's AI-first phone experience to a mid-range price without cutting the parts that matter. It runs the Tensor G4 chip, the same silicon family as Google's flagships, powering camera processing, on-device Gemini features, and call screening. A 6.3-inch P-OLED display runs at 120Hz and peaks at 2700 nits, and the 5100 mAh battery is the largest Google has fitted to an A-series phone. Google rates the Adaptive Battery at over 30 hours, extending to roughly 100 hours in Extreme Battery Saver. Finished in Obsidian with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage.

Special Features

Google Tensor G4 with Gemini: An octa-core Tensor G4 built on a 4 nm process runs Google's AI features on the device itself, from photo editing to live call handling, rather than relying on the cloud for everything.

48 MP Camera System: A 48 MP main camera paired with Google's computational photography, giving flagship-grade image processing in a mid-range body.

Bright 120Hz Display: A 6.3-inch P-OLED panel at 2424 x 1080 resolution and 421 PPI, with a 120Hz refresh rate, HDR support and 2700 nits peak brightness, so it stays readable in direct sunlight.

Full Day Battery and Extreme Saver: A 5100 mAh cell rated for over 30 hours of normal use, or up to 100 hours in Extreme Battery Saver mode.

Pixel Call Assist: An AI-powered feature that screens unwanted calls and works through automated phone menus on your behalf.

IP68 Rated and Built to Last: Full dust and water resistance to IP68, with an aluminium frame and Corning Gorilla Glass 3 over the display.

Dual SIM Flexibility: Supports one physical SIM plus one eSIM in Dual SIM Dual Standby, and where the carrier permits, two eSIM profiles connected to two 5G networks simultaneously.

Pixel Drops: Feature updates arrive every few months across your phone, earbuds, watch and tablet, so the phone gains capability over time rather than only receiving security patches.
