There are some details that have been appearing about the Pixel 9a for a few months and one of the important ones is that this time the technology giant wants it to be different in specifications from those presented in the summer by Google. Now, after learning about the design of the mobile phone just last month, a new report claims that photography will be in a good place to be similar to the Pixel 9 folding mobile.
And it seems that the Pixel 9a there is a big improvement in the camera sensorsince the one launched this year, the Pixel 8a, arrived with the same camera as the Pixel 7a —which was positioned as a great advance in hardware to make a significant leap in photography for this series— Google’s next mobile phone would arrive with a 40 Mpx main camera, the same as the one used in the foldable Pixel 9 Pro Fold.
The Pixel 9 Pro Fold has a 48 Mpx sensor, which is partly better than the 64 Mpx seen in the Pixel 8a available here in Spain. Above all for an aspect that must be taken into account, since by offering a larger aperture f/1.7 allows you to capture more light than the 64 Mpx f/1.9 sensor. Resulting in better photography in low light environments compared to its predecessor.
Google Pixel 8a
Where it seems that nothing is going to change It is in the front camera as well as the ultra wide angle, so in this sense the photography will improve directly in the main lens to be the section in which it will differentiate itself from the Pixel 8a and get closer to the photos taken by the Pixel 9 ProFold.
It will not only be about advances in hardware, but Google intends to give support for “Add me” functionality which premiered in the Pixel 9 series. What it does is use artificial intelligence to help the user take group photos so that even the one who took the photo appears.
From Android Authority No more is known about this next Google mobile phone, which could possibly have its presentation brought forward to the end of March, as was recently learned. And it seems that The technology giant plans to change the roadmap of launches of own devices as well as that of Android 16 that could arrive in its final version before summer.
