Great phone, great price
For five years I enjoyed my Pixel 4a, a compact 128 GB 4G phone. However, I recently destroyed it when I unintentionally took it for a swim in the ocean, so it was time for an upgrade. I first considered the 8a, but when I saw the low cost of Googleâs newest phone, the absence of an annoying camera bar on the back, and the many rave reviews on YouTube, I was sold on the 9a. It delivers remarkable performance without most of the trade-offs that come with midrange phones. This isnât a flagship, nor with only 8 GB of RAM is it intended for intensive gamers, but it does everything I need and does it well. And Google automatically reloaded every one of my apps, files, and settings from the cloud!The Pixel 9a checks all the boxes: an unlocked, modestly sized 5G device with a clean, simple design in four available colors. It includes the AI assistant Gemini and the newest Google apps and operating system (Android 15) with seven years of system and security updates, as well as the same fast Tensor G4 chipset and bright, sharp, smooth 120 Hz display featured on the model 9. The 9a is equipped with outstanding cameras and camera software and a best-in-class battery (even better than the 9 Pro) for extra-long life. The unit offers strong resistance to water, dust, and scratches, in addition to wireless charging and oodles of storage. All this at an unbeatable price! The 256 GB version I bought came with a $100 Amazon gift card, effectively reducing its price to $499, the same as the 128 GB model.I do have three caveats: the bezel on the screen seems unnecessarily thick, wireless charging is much slower than wired charging, and there is noticeable grain in low-light videos, but none of these are deal-breakers for me. And I must respond to a previous reviewer who also owned a 4a and claimed that the 9a is too big, that itâs design is unoriginal, and that it lacks a headphone jack and a behind-the-screen fingerprint reader. While not as small or light as my old Pixel, itâs only slightly larger and heavier (allowing for a bigger battery), and it fits my hand perfectly. As for the headphone jack and fingerprint reader, weâre in the third decade of the 20th century: wired headphones are history and on-screen fingerprint readers are standard. Finally, for many users like me, the minimalist design is a plus: less is more!

Too many negatives
This Google phone is very intrusive, invasive. Pesters with unending prompts do this, do that. Ads on top of other ads. Screen brightness dims randomly 30%. Cannot play Pixel videos on Win 10 PC. Battery life poor. Unable to opt out of Pixel SET UP. Shutoff requires 2 (two) buttons to be pushed simultaneously. Last, but not least. The Pixel9a has been reported on the internet to have poor repairability with the advise “Don’t Buy”. Returned phone.

Very very nice phone
I really really like this phone. I have a lot of great things to say about the phone. The quality is really nice and feels premium even though the materials used are not as expensive. Cameras are decent to get a good shot as long as you are using it correctly. Performance and using the phone around the menus is really smooth when paired up with that 120hz refresh. The screen resolution feels like a high end phone I think the pixel per Inch really shines on this phone and makes everything look as if 2k on the higher end phones. Call quality is as good as other phones. And has a nice battery.I would have wished to have smaller bezels but as soon as you put a glass protector and case you don’t really notice it and specially on the black.

Pixel 9a good midrange phone
The Pixel 9a delivers meaningful upgrades while embracing a more substantial design. Coming from the pixel 4a, the larger, sturdier frame offers a more premium build that feels solid and durable in the hand. While it’s bigger, this size provides a more immersive feel for those who appreciate a device that stands out and is built to last with a larger battery than current pixel 9.Pros:Wireless chargingfast processor makes multitasking smoothBright, vibrant display great for outdoor useSlightly thicker frame feels more substantial and less fragileBigger batteryCon:In-display fingerprint sensor could be better.Old modem module

Pixel 9a
If you didn’t know before, the Pixel 9a has a setting so that if an unknown phone number is calling you, you can screen the call & see the answer from the caller if they answer. You can then either ask for more info or hang up. I loved this feature on the Pixel 7a.I like the large screen. It’s nice & bright.It takes Great pictures. I do a lot of blogging & need good quality photos.

A decent mid-range phone, but nothing more.
The Pixel 9a shouldn’t disappoint if you’re looking for a decent mid-range phone, but aren’t expecting anything impressive. If you just need a phone and are looking for something cheaper, this will do. However, there isn’t much I would prefer with the Pixel 9a over the Pixel 7. By comparison, the screen’s colors are very dull, the brightness is overblown to the point where blacks are virtually non-existent, it’s heavier, and the WiFi is slower. Because of these problems I’ve chosen to return the phone as I’d rather spend a little more money and give something like the iPhone 16e a shot. I’ve not given this phone a lot of time, but if you already have Android 15 or a different Pixel, you probably shouldn’t expect much else here.
