Some details have been emerging about the Pixel 9a for a few months and one of the most important is that this time the tech giant wants its specifications to be different from those presented this summer by Google. Now, after learning about the design of the mobile phone last month, a new report claims that photography will be a good place to be similar to the Pixel 9 foldable 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 positioned itself as a great hardware advancement to make a significant leap in photography for this series— Google’s next mobile phone would arrive with a 40MP main camera, the same 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 of the Pixel 8a available here in Europe. Especially 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. This results in better photography in low-light environments compared to its predecessor.
Where it seems like nothing’s going to change It is in the front camera as well as in 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 hardware advances, but Google intends to give support for “Add Me” functionality which was created in the Pixel 9 series. It uses artificial intelligence to help the user take group photos so that even the one who took the photo appears.
From Android Authority We do not know more about this next mobile phone from Google, the presentation of which could possibly be brought forward to the end of March, as we recently learned. And it seems that Tech giant plans to change its roadmap launches of its own devices as well as that of Android 16 which could arrive in its final version before summer.
