Google Pixel 9a color options leaked

Well, folks, it looks like we’ve got some juicy details on Google’s upcoming budget-friendly Pixel 9a. A fresh leak just dropped, spilling the beans on the color options we might see hitting shelves next year.

First up, the classics are sticking around. No surprises there – Porcelain (that’s fancy talk for white) and Obsidian (aka black) aren’t going anywhere. But here’s where it gets interesting: Google’s shaking things up with two new colors in the mix.

Say goodbye to Aloe and Bay, and hello to Peony and Iris. Word on the street is Peony’s gonna be a pretty pink number, probably similar to the Pixel 9’s Peony, while Iris is bringing some bluish-purple vibes to the party. Honestly, it’s about time Google jazzed up their color game a bit.

Now, don’t get too excited just yet. We probably won’t see this bad boy until sometime next year, likely around Google I/O in May. But who knows? Google’s been switching up its release schedule lately, so we might get lucky with an early drop.

Apart from the new colors, an earlier leak also shows that the Pixel phone maker is switching things up with the Pixel 9a’s design. That camera visor we’ve all come to associate with Pixel phones won’t be seen on this upcoming mid-ranger.

Oh, and for you spec nerds out there, the 9a’s supposedly getting a slight size boost. We’re talking a hair taller and wider, but a smidge thinner too. Will you notice? Probably not, unless you’re comparing side-by-side with the 8a.

Look, leaks are leaks, so take all this with a grain of salt. But if it pans out, it seems like Google’s trying to keep things fresh in the mid-range market. Personally, I’m kinda digging the sound of that Iris color. What do you think? Are you feeling these new hues, or are you gonna miss Aloe and Bay? Drop a comment and let me know!
