Google's debuting the new $499 Pixel 9A phone, breaking from the company's history of releasing the lower-cost Pixel A phones closer to the company's I/O conference. Instead the phone's reveal is here in March, and Google says the phone should be available for sale on April 10. We got an early look at the new phone, which includes the same Tensor G4 processor as the more expensive Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro.

The new Google Pixel 9A has big shoes to fill. The affordable phone is the follow-up to one of my favorite phones from 2024, the Pixel 8A, which earned a CNET Editors' Choice Award. With the Pixel 8A, Google found a sweet spot in terms of features, battery life, long-term software support and overall value. And on paper, the Pixel 9A seems like an upgrade in nearly every way to last year's Pixel 8A.

I used Google’s new Pixel 9A briefly and was impressed with its build and some of its design. I like the flat back. But the lack of camera bar diminishes some of its Pixel-ness. Otherwise, on the screen and under the hood, it's as Pixel as they come. https://t.co/KCPSn1tVPA
The iPhone 16e is a good phone with a peculiar value proposition. It’s new, but old. It’s affordable but not cheap. The 16e has a good battery life, a good camera & calls sound good. The lack of MagSafe & a high-refresh rate screen seem like a miss. https://t.co/rybwyvJeoQ
The Galaxy S25 Ultra is undoubtedly a wonderful phone: jaw-dropping performance, an amazing screen & a versatile camera. Samsung kept all the best parts of the S24 Ultra but some of its worst parts, too: the $1,300 price. https://t.co/WS5se0GQnH
