Google Pixel 9a Review: Still the Best Smartphone

 

It might not look like a classic Pixel phone anymore, but this Android is still the best smartphone bargain.

Great performance. Reliable dual-camera system. Bright and sharp display. Solid battery life. Plenty of smart software features. Wireless charging. Improved IP68 rating. Seven years of software support. Flat back with nice color options.

Stale design (unless you pick iris or peony). Some accuracy issues with Assistant Voice Typing. A few Gemini-powered features are missing.

Google Pixel 9A review: a midrange phone done right

 

The Pixel 9A has all the right features for its budget-friendly price.

The best endorsement for the Pixel 9A is that there’s a lot you just won’t notice as you use this phone. You won’t notice performance or battery life, because they’re fine. They’re not outstanding, but they’re not noticeably bad. You don’t notice how...

Google Pixel 9a review: the best candidate for your $500?

 

The Google Pixel 9a has just been announced, and it's just what we expected — a very solid offering for just $500. To the point where you start wondering, sure the Pixel 9 may be better, but is it $200 better? We still have to run the Pixel 9a through...

Google Pixel 8a vs. Pixel 9a: We tested both midrange phones, and the winner is not so obvious

 

When it first came out, Google's Pixel 8a delivered flagship features at a midrange price. But with the arrival of the Pixel 9a, Google may have just raised the bar again.

The $499 Google Pixel 9a just set a new record for me - and it's a big deal for power users

 

The Pixel 9a may not turn heads with flashy features, but it nails the essentials - a formula built for long-term success.

Money is a sensitive topic now more than ever, so here's my buying advice after testing the Google Pixel 9a and every other A-series device since 2019.

The Google Pixel 9a is the best $500 phone that I've ever tested

 

The iPhone 16e benchmarks better and the Galaxy S24 FE has more flexible cameras, but the Pixel 9a has the perfect mix of both... and it's cheaper.

Solid, reliable cameras ; Excellent update commitment ; Clever AI-powered features ; Great battery life ; New, streamlined design ; Excellent price

Relatively slow charging ; Aging Gorilla Glass 3 (again) ; Missing Pixel Screenshots
