As premature and as far-fetched as it may sound, Google’s presumably distant Pixel 9a mid-ranger has purportedly leaked in a couple of real-world prototype images on a „random“ Facebook group.
Just in case Google didn’t make enough headlines of late with the announcement of a more expansive and diverse Pixel handset family than ever, the search giant’s next big (mid-range) phone is surprisingly in the spotlight today as well.
Although it’s clearly far too early to know anything for sure about the Pixel 9a, a social media leaker with a somewhat mixed track record claims to have found pictures showing this device in pre-production form on a „random“ Facebook private group.
That sounds like the flimsiest story ever, we know, but at the same time, the two photographs do have an air of authenticity, featuring a logo that’s likely to look very familiar to many hardcore Google fans. This is a placeholder of sorts that’s been used on a number of Pixel prototypes in the past, and although that obviously doesn’t rule out the possibility that these images are manipulated, it suggests that the phone depicted is indeed made by Google if we’re not in fact dealing with doctored pics.Big screen, little bezels, new camera module
If what we’re looking at here is the real-deal Pixel 9a (which remains a big if), the differences to this year’s Pixel 8a mid-ranger are pretty stark.
