The presentation of Pixel 9a was one of the most anticipated of the year, and immediately became one of the most recommended Android mobiles for its “ hardware '' and above all, for its “ software '', with system updates for 7 years and access to the latest news from Gemini.
Although the 549 dollars price This is a jump compared to the previous generation, the Pixel 9a is always one of the reference models in the environment. However, there was a detail that Google was unable to clarify, perhaps the most important: the release date. The maximum that the company was able to say was that the device was going to be available in April.
Shortly after, the reason why Google could not be more precise: a problem at Pixel 9a had caused a Delay in the planned launch. The good news is that Google discovered the problem before the device reaches the first customers; The bad, who did not know when I was going to be able to resolve it.
Fortunately, it was not necessary to expect a lot. Today, Google has confirmed that Pixel 9a will be released in Europe on April 14Although the Spanish will not be the first to receive it. Perhaps due to the delay in the production caused by the above-mentioned problem, Google opted for a progressive launch and Pixel 9a will not reach everyone at the same time.
The United States, Canada and the United Kingdom will be the first countries to receive Pixel 9a Next April 10; Europe and most EU countries, such as Germany, Italy, France, Portugal and Eastern Europe, will receive it on April 14. Finally, Australia, India, Singapore, Taiwan and Malaysia will have available on April 16. It is striking that an important market, Japan, still has no launch date, although Google declares that “it will happen soon”.
Google also had words for all the rumors that were published when Pixel 9a's delay was confirmed. The company declares that “Rumors and speculation about this delay are false”And explained that this happened because “a passive component” in Pixel 9a did not meet quality standards linked to the longevity of the device.
Consequently, instead of launching it on the market, Google made “the difficult decision” to delay the Pixel 9a and to correct the problem, although he claims that he was only present in “a small quantity of units”. Therefore, Google did not want to share exactly the problem he discovered, although we know at least that It had to do with “longevity”indicating that a piece may not last anything that should. However, it is better not to make speculations without knowing more about the device, which will arrive in Europe in a few weeks.
