Meet Pixel 9a – engineered by Google with more than you expect, for less than you think. Like Gemini built in to supercharge your productivity and creativity.³ A best-in-class camera⁵ for incredible photos. All-day battery.⁴ Durable design. And 7 years of updates so it keeps feeling new.⁶ All for under $500.

  • Universal Unlocked: Compatible with all major U.S. carriers, including Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile. Also compatible with prepaid carriers including Cricket Wireless, MetroPCS, Google Fi, Total Wireless, Tracfone, and Mint.
  • The best phone camera under $500⁵: Take photos and videos so amazing, you won’t believe you actually took them. Capture small details, create perfect group shots, and even get vivid ones at night.
  • The dependable all-day battery: The Adaptive Battery on Pixel 9a can last over 30 hours. Need even more? Turn on Extreme Battery Saver to make it last up to 100.⁴ That’s big energy.
  • One ask, done across your apps: Save time by asking Gemini to find information and get things done for you across your Google apps – like Maps, Calendar, Gmail, and YouTube Music. It’s multitasking made easy.³
  • It’s built to last: Pixel 9a is designed to handle spills, dust, drops, and dings.² From IP68 water and dust protection to a scratch-resistant display and long-lasting materials, it’s the most durable Pixel A-Series phone yet.²
  • Talk things out live: Instead of typing, use Gemini Live and have a natural, free-flowing conversation. Gemini follows along, even if you change the topic or switch the question mid-sentence.¹⁰
  • Take the picture. And be in it, too: Add Me makes sure no one is left out of a photo. Take one with the group, then swap in the photographer, and Pixel magically merges both photos.¹
  • Tiny is epic: Use Macro Focus to reveal vivid color and striking contrast in photos and videos of the smallest details – like raindrops, flowers, or sprinkles.
  • Brilliant photos, dusk to dawn: Night Sight takes sharp, vivid photos, portraits, and panos in low light, like concerts and cityscapes – even the Milky Way with astrophotography.
  • Group pics the whole group loves: Get an amazing group photo by combining similar photos. Pixel finds the best moment, or you can choose everyone’s best expression.
  • That new-phone feeling every few months: Your phone keeps getting better over time with automatic Pixel Drops⁶ – boosts of helpfulness like camera updates, brand-new features, and more.
  • Your AI creative canvas: Make your own memes, stickers, and whatever else you can dream up in seconds, from wherever you’re typing.⁷ A surfing tiger, anime style? You got it.
  • Reimagine your photos, right on your phone: Magic Editor in Google Photos makes complex edits easy. With a few taps, AI can change the background, move objects, and more.¹
  • Designed for your peace of mind: Pixel is built with safety features that help you prepare and react in an emergency. It can quickly call emergency services and share accurate location info so they know where to send help.⁸
  • Plays well with Pixel. And others: Pixel 9a is designed to be compatible with your other devices.⁹ That means you can keep streaming and connecting seamlessly, whether those devices are made by Google or not.
  • It’s easy to set up: Pixel 9a has a simple setup for getting your kids started. With Family Link parental controls, you can set digital ground rules together.
  • Universal Unlocked: Compatible with all major U.S. carriers, including Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile. Also compatible with prepaid carriers including Cricket Wireless, MetroPCS, Google Fi, Total Wireless, Tracfone, and Mint.
