The Pixel 9a could be one of the most sensible phones to buy in 2025. It has a big battery, years of future-proofing courtesy of Google, and it also has the same processor for near-flagship-grade (by Pixel standards) gaming. Of course, when the price goes down, so too do some features, and the Pixel 9a’s camera is arguably the area that’s been hit hardest.
The dual-camera mix combines a 48MP wide and 13MP tele camera with a 13MP selfie camera. While the pixel counts aren’t alarming, the main camera sensor is smaller than last year’s Pixel 8a.
