Google’s Pixel 9A sees destined to ditch the camera bar

There’ve already been renders of Google’s yet-to-be-proclaimd Pixel 9A and one authentic-world sneak peek. Now we’re getting yet another see at an punctual prototype of Google’s next mid-range phone. X user fenibook has posted two sboilings of the phone, and it’s got the company’s normal labelings that scheduleate this as a still-under-enhugement device.

These tardyst images recommend yet more proof that Google schedules to ditch the camera bar — a visual halllabel of recent Pixels — on the 9A in prefer of making the camera flush with the back of the phone. That’s a bit unforeseeed to see, but Google’s Claude Zellweger telderly us back in August that scheduleers were probable to reappraise the ratio of camera challengingware to phone challengingware thanks to persistments in computational pboilingography.

The Pixel A-series might be the perfect phone for Google to test whether it can get away with a petiteer sensor and camera housing without losing too much in the way of image quality. It’s reasonable to anticipate the company’s very best pboilingo capabilities from the flagship models, but as my colleague Allison Johnson can attest, “pretty excellent” is normally enough for the mid-tier Pixel.

Rumors recommend the 9A will have a huger 6.3-inch disjoin with a peak renew rate of 120Hz and the same Tensor G4 used in the Pixel 9, 9 Pro, and 9 Pro Felderly. But there have also been alerts that Google will downcastdle it with an elderlyer modem, which would be a shame since the Pixel 9 lineup repartner made strides in cellular carry outance this year.
