Google Will Release Pixel 9a In A Phased Manner
Apparently, Google is adopting a phased approach with the Pixel 9a. First, the phone will be available on-shelf in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom on April 10. Four days later — on April 10 — the handset will go on sale in countries like Germany, Spain, Italy, Ireland, and 18 other regions.
The Pixel 9a will be available to purchase in India on April 16, 2025. According to a report by 9To5Google, “a passive component in Pixel 9a” didn’t meet the company’s quality standards for the device’s longevity, so the availability was delayed, and corrective measures were taken for the “small number of affected units.”
