Google's Pixel 9a debuts with familiar specs, highlighted by a big 5,100mAh battery and a new main camera sensor. The device embraces vibrant colors, a larger display, and the same Tensor G4 processor found in the regular Pixel 9.

Earlier this year, the company issued an urgent firmware update for the long-discontinued Pixel 4A to address battery overheating concerns. (The 5,100mAh battery in the Pixel 9A is the largest of any Google phone to date.) Google has also had to extended warranty coverage for display defects on the Pixel 8.

Google's Pixel 9a isn't even launched yet reviews and performance benchmarks are already out in the wild for all to see.
