- Real-world images of an apparent Google Pixel 9a have appeared online.
- The images seem to come from a Vietnamese tech forum and look like a prototype device.
- We’re very skeptical that this is the Pixel 9a, though.
Google is only expected to launch the Pixel 9a in mid-2025 (if it does launch a mid-range Pixel next year), but we’ve already got an apparent real-world look at the device. Unfortunately, this leak is very questionable, to put it mildly.
Tipster ShrimpApplePro posted two real-world images that purportedly show the Google Pixel 9a. The leaker claimed that they were grabbed from a “random post” on Facebook. The tipster also claimed that the device will be released before the end of the year and is available in four colors. The tweaked rear logo suggests this is a prototype device, with smartphone makers often incorporating unique markers like this to combat leaks.
