Google Pixel 9a Leaks Suggest New Design
Recent online leaks suggest a potential new budget-friendly smartphone in Google's Pixel lineup. Two images, purportedly showing a prototype device, have surfaced on the Internet. These images appear to be on the purported Pixel 9a with a dual-camera setup on the rear. The camera arrangement features a glossy circular element, which some observers have noted bears a resemblance to design elements seen in other recent Google phone models. However, the overall camera housing seems to differ from previous designs, lacking the distinctive bar-like structure seen in some other Google phones. (Read our full review of Pixel 8a here). In the leaked images, the LED flash appears to be positioned separately to the right of the camera lenses. The device also sports a modified logo on its back, which is a common practice used by manufacturers to disguise prototypes and prevent unauthorised leaks.
