Pixel 9a makes an surprising cameo in a Galaxy S25 Edge leak

Immediately’s rumor mill has delivered a double dose of pleasure for smartphone fans. Earlier immediately, we reported on a YouTube video that gave us our first hands-on take a look at Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge. However simply as shortly because it appeared, the video was taken down. Nonetheless, the leak didn’t finish there. One other video, titled “Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge Digital camera Samples,” additionally popped up, presumably from the identical supply, earlier than assembly the identical destiny.

However not earlier than 9to5Google noticed a black gadget sitting on the desk, which seems to be Google’s upcoming Pixel 9a. The video could also be gone, however the publication managed to seize some screenshots. The gadget positively matches the Pixel 9a renders we’ve seen up to now, and Google’s signature “G” brand on its again strongly means that this may very well be the ultimate manufacturing {hardware}.

Now, I often love every part matte black, however I’ve to confess that the Pixel 9a seems to be a bit too plain. The digicam module sits nearly flush with the again, and there’s not a lot taking place when it comes to design aptitude. A pop of coloration on the facility button or some distinction across the digicam bump may’ve added a little bit of character. Proper now, it sort of resembles a dummy unit. Hopefully, Google can have some enjoyable coloration choices in retailer when it formally launches.

Talking of launch, the Pixel 9a is predicted to debut someday in March, initially timed to land earlier than Apple’s rumored iPhone SE 4. However with Apple already dropping the iPhone 16e this month, Google’s subsequent budget-friendly Pixel shouldn’t be too far behind. Till then, we’ll should maintain our eyes peeled for extra leaks coming our means.
