Pixel 9a Unboxing Hints at New Design Tweaks

Sahil Karoul/YouTube
YouTuber Sahil Karoul has posted the most detailed unboxing video of the Pixel 9a, subject to rigorous testing of its features and rear cameras. The biggest surprise is the flat back panel with nearly zero camera hump, a significant shift away from the classic Pixel camera island design.

iPhone-Inspired Frame but Aging Front Design
As with the rest of the Pixel 9 series, the Pixel 9a boasts an iPhone-style flat frame, which makes it look premium at the back. But the front looks are not as charming. Thick bezels that encircle the 6.3-inch screen make the phone look somewhat dated, which is jarring for a mid-range phone in 2025., Android Police notes.
Camera and Performance Put to the Test
Sahil Karoul’s video does more than simply unbox the phone, as it provides commentary on the phone’s performance.
He mentioned in the 10-minute clip that the Pixel 9a with the Tensor G4 chip benchmarked reasonably without any overheating. Camera samples in the video showcase the high-quality optical image stabilization (OIS), making video recording smoother and images clearer.
What to Expect from the Pixel 9a’s Battery Life
The Pixel 9a comes with a powerful 5,100mAh battery, which, along with the more power-efficient Tensor G4 chip, should deliver an extended battery life. This, however, can only be validated through actual use once the early reviews are in.
Pixel 9a Holds Few Surprises but Delivers Value
Though the design upgrades are impressive the Pixel 9a does not appear to introduce much surprise as far as hardware or software goes. Even so, the presence of a high-performance chip, an increased battery, and a refreshed design makes it a reliable mid-range contender.
Leaked information indicates that Google will not increase the cost of the Pixel 9a despite these enhancements, which is a good incentive for those who are on a budget.
The rumored launch of Pixel 9a is expected to be on March 19. Leaks suggest that the base model will retain its existing price but with significant design improvements. Certain regions may even receive a complimentary Google TV Streamer with the purchase, offering even greater value.
English Unboxing Available for Non-Hindi Speakers
Whereas Sahil Karoul’s Hindi unboxing video is not readable by all users, a painstakingly thorough English video by YouTuber The Mobile Central makes Pixel 9a’s features just as understandable to non-Hindi-speaking audiences.
Google Pixel 9a is Prepared to Impress Users
With its minimalist look, solid performance, and huge battery, the Pixel 9a could be your next mid-range phone. Google makes it clear that you can enjoy the new upgrades without overpricing the device.
