We have seen several leaks regarding the Pixel 9a, including detailed specifications of the phone. Now the US pricing for the 128GB and 256GB models have surfaced, coinciding with earlier rumours.
Google Pixel 9a and launch date?
The Google Pixel 9a is rumoured to be priced at USD 499 (Rs. 43,180 approx.) for the 128GB model, same as the Pixel 8a. However, the 256GB model is expected to cost USD 599 (Rs. 51,830 approx.) making it USD 40 expensive compared to the Pixel 8a.
The Pixel 8a was launched in India for Rs. 52,999 for the 128GB model and the 256 model was available later at Rs. 59,999. The Pixel 9a should cost more in India as well for the 256GB model, and the pricing for the 128GB model could be the same or there might a slight increase due to fluctuations in the exchange rate.
The Pixel 9a is said to launch sometime mid-March 2025 earlier than the launch of the Pixel 8a which happened in early May 2024.
