Background

The Pixel 9a is the more budget‑friendly phone in the Pixel 9 Series line, starting at $499 (half the price of the 9 Pro). The phone comes with Gemini Nano built‑in, and has a whole host of AI features. Google boasts that the 9a has the best battery life of any Pixel phone to date, as well as a top of the line camera (13MP ultrawide camera and a 48MP main) while being in the $500 range.

Identification

Information about your Pixel phone such as model, serial, and IMEI numbers can be found by navigating to Settings > About phone. This information is also listed on the original box that your phone came in.

The Pixel 9a has a very sleek camera bump that barely protrudes from the back cover (unlike the prominent camera bar on the other phones in the Pixel 9 series). The phone has rounded corners and edges, and a much flatter profile than previous Pixel phones. The back of the phone has the signature Google G, two cameras, and a flash that's separate from the camera bezel.

The Pixel 9a comes in four different colors: Iris (purple), Peony (pink), Porcelain (white), and Obsidian (black).
