Very very nice phone
I really really like this phone. I have a lot of great things to say about the phone. The quality is really nice and feels premium even though the materials used are not as expensive. Cameras are decent to get a good shot as long as you are using it correctly. Performance and using the phone around the menus is really smooth when paired up with that 120hz refresh. The screen resolution feels like a high end phone I think the pixel per Inch really shines on this phone and makes everything look as if 2k on the higher end phones. Call quality is as good as other phones. And has a nice battery.I would have wished to have smaller bezels but as soon as you put a glass protector and case you don't really notice it and specially on the black.

Good phone with awesome features
Have been a pixel user for several years, starting with the 3a. I always buy the A versions because they do everything I need or want at an economical price. The camera takes great pics and the night sight setting is the best thing ever.

Great phone, great value
For five years I enjoyed my Pixel 4a, a compact 128 GB 4G phone. However, I recently destroyed it when I unintentionally took it for a swim in the ocean, so it was time for an upgrade. I first considered the 8a, but when I saw the low cost of Google’s newest phone, the absence of an annoying camera bar on the back, and the many rave reviews on YouTube, I was sold on the 9a. It delivers remarkable performance without most of the trade-offs that come with midrange phones. This isn’t a flagship, nor with only 8 GB of RAM is it intended for intensive gamers, but it does everything I need and does it well. And Google automatically reloaded every one of my apps, files, and settings from the cloud!The Pixel 9a checks all the boxes: an unlocked, modestly sized 5G device with a clean, simple design in four available colors. It includes the AI assistant Gemini and the newest Google apps and operating system (Android 15) with seven years of system and security updates, as well as the same fast Tensor G4 chipset and bright, sharp, smooth 120 Hz display featured on the model 9. The 9a is equipped with outstanding cameras and camera software and a best-in-class battery (even better than the 9 Pro) for extra-long life. The unit offers strong resistance to water, dust, and scratches, in addition to wireless charging and oodles of storage. All this at an unbeatable price! The 256 GB version I bought came with a $100 Amazon gift card, effectively reducing its price to $499, the same as the 128 GB model.I do have three caveats: the bezel on the screen seems unnecessarily thick, wireless charging is much slower than wired charging, and there is noticeable grain in low-light videos, but none of these are deal-breakers for me. And I must respond to a previous reviewer who also owned a 4a and claimed that the 9a is too big, that it’s design is unoriginal, and that it lacks a headphone jack and a behind-the-screen fingerprint reader. While not as small or light as my old Pixel, it’s only slightly larger and heavier (allowing for a bigger battery), and it fits my hand perfectly. As for the headphone jack and fingerprint reader, we’re in the third decade of the 20th century: wired headphones are history and on-screen fingerprint readers are standard. Finally, for many users like me, the minimalist design is a plus: less is more!

Disappointed Google Fan
Bought this mainly for the camera, but disappointed with the phone overall. Don't really feel like buying or recommending Pixel phones anymore. With the restrictions mentioned below, not much different from or beneficial over an iPhone.What's great:* Good camera* Good battery* Good speed* Smooth operation* Less junkwareWhat disappointed:* No more free unlimited Google Photos storage for Pixel users* Screen mirroring is locked to Chromecast; will not cast/mirror to Roku or Fire Stick or anything that uses Miracast* Pixel Launcher is pretty restrictive to what you can change; I hate the Google search bar on the bottom; cannot move it to the top, nor even edit its lookWhat I knew was coming, but still disappointed:* I don't like the on-screen fingerprint; rear fingerprint is the best; side fingerprint is tolerable; front is the worst — looks ugly with most phone cases or screen protectors (see attached image)* No 3.5mm headphone jack; you need to buy a USB-C headphone or a USB-C to 3.5mm adapter

Great phone and great battery life
Works great, easy to setup. No issues at all, very happy with the Pixel 9a. Battery on first day - 16 hours of use and still had over 50% when I went to bed.

Perfect for me
Ok, it's super new so I might have more to say later. So far I love it. The screen color is great, it is fast, very responsive. It is the best phone I've owned so far. I don't use phone for business or anything high tech but I am handicapped and it is easy for me to use. The size is perfect-I only have use of one hand. Size:Perfect
