The Pixel 9a comes in ₹3,000 cheaper than the Pixel 8a, but the savings bring a mix of upgrades and trade-offs. You get a faster Tensor G4 chip, though the phone still heats up during extended camera use. The main camera now has fewer megapixels, but better aperture helps capture bright, detailed shots—even foggy ones. Battery life is solid, lasting a full day with ease. The display gets slightly bigger, but thick bezels remain. On the plus side, the panel quality and stereo speakers are great for media. The real win here is the software—clean, smooth, and packed with helpful AI tools found on pricier Pixel models. If you value a polished everyday experience over raw power, the Pixel 9a fits the bill. Otherwise, consider the OnePlus 13R, Xiaomi 14 CIVI, or Realme GT 6 for more performance.
