Google Pixel 9a Leaked Images Show New Camera Design, Moving Away from Signature Look

According to recent leaks, a new pixel 9a of google is on the rolling way and the most recognizable change will be witnessed on the camera. The device, planned for release in 2025, can give up the familiar camera visor concept that has been used in Google phones for several years.

From CAD-based renders sourced by Android Headlines from a reliable tipster OnLeaks, it has been revealed that the Pixel 9a will look quite different from its predecessors. The new design does not include a conventional visor but is a flat, pill-shaped module containing two cameras placed in small rings. The phone will also feature flat side rails similar to most smartphones in recent times, and the SIM slot has been moved up at the base of the unit. This design approach is remarkably akin to older LG phones which adds a retro feel to the modern phone. The position of the camera on the right side of the phone is the same as the iPhone 7 Plus style.

Software and Hardware Updates

The Pixel 9a is pinned to launch with the Android 15, and the reports are inline with Google’s consistent hardware upgrades and the long term service, the device is set to receive 7 years of updates like the Pixel 8a. However, this model could be one of the very last Google phone built with a Samsung-based Tensor chip, a milestone in Google’s journey with smartphones.

Processor Transition

It has recently emerged that Google is planning a major wind down in its chip manufacturing plans. That is why, while current models rely on Samsung-made Tensor chips, future devices will switch to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC). The Pixel phones of 2025 will feature TSMC chips and the Pixel 10 will incorporate a wholly designed TSMC chip. This move indicates that Google is eager to transform its hardware capacity and thus may provide an indication of performance in subsequent models.

The particular change is significant more than companies and the look of Google as a business. While it could suggest the company is shifting in a new direction it might also lead to enhanced camera functions. The Pixel 9a’s guarantee of long term software support means users will receive updates for this device for a longer duration, which is why it deserves a good rate for long-term investment in a smartphone.
