The Pixel 9a, Google's next mid-range smartphone, is expected to arrive in early 2025. Recent rumors claim that the upcoming phone will hit stores with a major camera upgrade. The Pixel 9a is said to carry a new primary sensor, ditching the 64-megapixel main camera of its predecessor, the Pixel 8a. It is likely to preserve the 13-megapixel selfie camera from the previous model. It is expected to come with the “Add Me” feature.
according to a report According to Android Headlines, the Pixel 9a will feature a 48-megapixel main camera. This may seem like a downgrade from the 64-megapixel main shooter available on the Pixel 7a and Pixel 8a, but the Pixel 9a's main camera is said to be the same 48-megapixel shooter found on the Pixel 9 Professional Fold. Despite the lower resolution, the new main camera with a larger aperture is said to provide more attractive photos.
The report further claims that the Pixel 9a will feature a 13-megapixel ultra-wide camera and a 13-megapixel selfie shooter like its predecessor. It is said to get Google's new 'Add Me' camera feature that debuted with the Pixel 9 series earlier this year. This AI-based feature allows users to click group photos without skipping the designated photographer.
