Google’s mobile will be very different from the Pixel 9, breaking the trend of the series for years

To access the best Google phones without having to go through the highest payment of those recently launched in Europe, such as those of the Pixel 9 series, there is no better way than to go through the Pixel A. And even more so with which is on the way, which is none other than the Pixel 9a. Now, from an internal source at Google, it has been removed that the The Pixel 9a will have some major differences compared to the Pixel 9 series.

This is important because the previous Pixel 8a didn’t really differ much from the Pixel 8 series with a 120Hz refresh rate display and 7 years of updates, so being a little handy you can almost enjoy the best of this series without paying a lot.

First up, the Pixel 9a, codenamed “tegu,” It will feature Google’s Tensor G4 chip insidethe same as seen in the Pixel 9 and which was really a minor update over the Tensor G3 in terms of performance.

And in this sense, it is on par with the Pixel 8a, since The Pixel 9a uses a slightly different version of the Pixel 9’s G4. While the silicon die inside the chip is the same, the plastic coating is different. The one the G4 regularly uses is FOPLP (Fan-Out Panel Level Packaging), and in the 9a, the Google chip becomes iPoP (Integrated Package on Package).

According to Samsung, iPoP is thicker and absorbs more heat than FOLPL, despite being cheaper, which may explain the decision to use it in the upcoming Pixel 9a. According to Android Authoritythere differences in chip performance would not be noticeable and the chip should be a reasonable upgrade over the model used in the previous Pixel 8a.

and just Where the Pixel 9 series has improved is with the Exynos Modem 5400 modem

This modem won’t be in the Pixel 9a and it will remain with the Exynos 5300 modem used in the previous model. In this way, Google makes sure to reduce the price of the mobile without sacrificing too much and thus provides a compelling reason to the user who wants a better experience in certain specifications.

It is modem detail has a greater effect than you might think, since previous Pixel A’s weren’t cheap enough and were a near-identical version of the regular versions. The Pixel 9a will be the first to break that trend, and the use of this modem is the biggest difference between the A series and the Pixel 6a.
