   Great purchase
   Got this for my dad.It’s an extremely good mid range phone.The camera and AI technologies are great, battery life is insane and it’s quite quick. The display is nice and bright and ease of use is spot on. Love the design and feel of it as it feels a little like an iPhone.I would recommend this phone

   Stellar battery life, solid performance
   Ok, so, I very rarely leave reviews but felt I just had to for this incredible phone. I actually ‘downgraded’ from my previous phone for this purely because I’d heard stellar things about the battery life. And my god are they right! The last phone I had with this good battery life was probably Samsung’s most expensive a few years ago. But even then I wonder if this would beat it, as gone are any worries about this lasting a full day. It just goes and goes and goes. Performance wise I think it’s absolutely fine and no worries at all. Plus it’s been a while since I had a pixel but it felt like coming home to what is by far the simplest and most user friendly UI out there (it just feels like every iPhone has been the same for like 10 years). Google are constantly refreshing things and it sends such a strong message to consumers that they can have this good a phone at half the price of flagships (which people just do all the same things on).

   Very much underwhelming, do not pick this if you planning on sharing pictures.
   The phone build quality is good, unfortuantely however no matter what settings you go for in terms of camera ( HDR on or off etc etc ) when you share your picture the quality is truly atrocius.I have recorded the same video from a phone stand fromSamsung s10eGoogle pixel 9aIphone 13proAnd the Pixel came last in terms of quality of every picture – mind you when the photo is on your phone looks good – the moment you send it via whatsapp,instagram,telegram,imgur, you name it – the quality just goes DOWN.Even the samsung s10e has a better camera, not because the cameras lenses are actually better – the Pixel 9a should in paper have better camera lenses and hardware but i dont think anybody in 2025 takes pictures just to share them by handing over the phone to a person – simply we share it online and i invite you all to try and taking a 10 second video on your Pixel 9a and then take the same 10 second video on an Iphone or Samsung and then upload it on any major messaging app.You’ll then understand.Battery is good – last long well optimised but thats what i would expect from a 2 months old phone – i turn it off every night and i charge it between 20 and 80 never to 0 never to 100.Software is android – very good – i use a lot of apk for quality of life like youtube premium etc etc – so far this is the only thing keeping me away from fully switching to an Iphone.Overall i would not reccomend at all especially for its price range – you could get much better Samsung phone.

   A worthy phone that should be expected from a tech giant
   Fast, smooth, nice screen and main cameras, decent speakers and mic, good battery life. Biometrics are solid, I really like how good the face unlock is from Google here – comparable in speed and reliability to other brands that have great face unlock such as Xiaomi, oneplus etc. Sadly, doesn’t seem capable of working in very dark situations like the other brands though. No big issues with the optical fingerprint – another surprise here.No problems with connection so far. Heard the modem was not a good offering from Google here, but I have had a good experience with it.Gave 4 stars because I believe the pricing isn’t good for what you get, especially when you see what other phones are offering at the same price like Nothing, Samsung, Xiaomi, oneplus etc. At least make it 256gb storage for the base price. Wireless charging should be more like 15w minimum.Selfie cam is still as bad as I remember from Google when not taking into account the amazing post processing that Google is known for. I would’ve thought that 13MP would make for a sharp and clear preview image or video performance, but no, it is quite blurry and smudged in anything that is not in really bright lighting. My much older and cheaper Xiaomi and Samsung devices have way better raw selfie performance than this Pixel 9A.Overall, a solid phone, much improved over the last pixel that I tried which was the 6A. This is a phone that I can easily recommend, unlike the 6A.

   The cheaper affordable Pixel just got better!!
   The perfect size at 6.3 and all the benefits of Pixel in a cheaper package some £300 cheaper than the Pixel 9 and with all the benefits. Great display, bigger battery, good cameras, smooth and responsive. Even got a free case when bought on Launch day ! Great phone!!

   Love it
   Had this for a couple of months now and love it. Made a couple of tweaks that I found on you tube and it’s very snappy to use now. Good photos and a really good size – must be the bargain phone if the year.

   Tras dos semanas de uso, estoy enamorado de este teléfono. Es manejable, ligero, fluido, interfaz limpia, echa unas fotos espectaculares, y lo que más me ha sorprendido… la batería. Incluso con uso intensivo, echando fotos, vídeos, usándolo para el trabajo, emails, chat, etc… llego al final del día con un 60% de batería. Es increíble.Lo compré porque quería algo más compacto y sobre todo por la parte trasera totalmente plana… cansado de que todas las marcas quieran destacar el módulo de cámara de forma exagerada. Además de por la garantía de ser un google pixel, que siempre le aporta un plus en cuanto a seguridad y actualizaciones.Decir que no tenía claro si me iba a convencer, y tenía pensado probarlo durante una semana y si no me acostumbraba, devolverlo. Venía de un terminal tope de gama, de gran tamaño, y el cambio ha sido notable. Pero ha superado mis expectativas.Hay que tener en cuenta que este Pixel, el que venden como “el más básico” de toda la gama pixel, tiene el mismo procesador que los modelos superiores, es el que tiene mayor capacidad de batería de toda la gama, echa unas fotos de la misma calidad que el resto, y es del mismo tamaño que el Pixel normal. Pero con un precio menor que todos.Puntos negativos.Por decir algo, los bordes de la pantalla podrían haber sido más reducidos. No es algo escandaloso, y al final ni lo tienes en cuenta es de esas cosas que no te fijas en el uso del día a día, pero por decir algo.La cámara gran angular es de calidad un poco más baja que la cámara principal. Pero vamos, echa fotos espectaculares igualmente gracias al procesado de google.Resumiendo. Es un móvil para el día a día, un móvil de batalla, que te va a aguantar lo que le eches, y terminarás el día con más de un 50% de batería.

    Ho scelto il Google Pixel 9a perché cercavo uno smartphone affidabile, con una buona fotocamera e un sistema operativo pulito, senza troppe app inutili. La prima impressione è stata molto positiva: design semplice ma elegante, leggero in mano e con materiali solidi. Il colore grigio creta ha una finitura opaca piacevole al tatto e non trattiene troppo le impronte.Dopo alcuni giorni di utilizzo, posso dire che l’esperienza è davvero fluida. Il sistema Android è ottimizzato, veloce e privo di rallentamenti. Le app si aprono rapidamente e il multitasking è gestito senza problemi. Lo schermo è nitido, con colori vividi e una buona luminosità anche sotto il sole.Il punto forte è la fotocamera con intelligenza artificiale, che sorprende per la qualità degli scatti in ogni condizione, anche in notturna. I ritratti hanno una bella profondità, e le funzioni come la modifica delle foto direttamente dal dispositivo sono molto comode.La batteria dura tranquillamente una giornata intera con uso misto, e anche con un uso più intenso regge bene fino a sera. Ottima anche la gestione della sicurezza, con aggiornamenti regolari e funzionalità integrate per proteggere dati e privacy.Non ho riscontrato veri difetti. L’unica cosa da sapere è che non include il caricabatterie nella confezione, ma il cavo USB-C è presente, quindi serve un adattatore già compatibile.Nel complesso è un ottimo smartphone per chi cerca qualità, semplicità e prestazioni senza spendere troppo. Lo consiglio a chi vuole un telefono moderno, scattante e con una fotocamera che non delude.

    After a disastrous experience with having to return a Galaxy A35 four times under warranty and then they refused to give me a refund I bought a Pixel 9a. So really Samsung have done me a favour this Pixel phone is a far superior phone. Although a little dearer it much much better. Thank you Samsung.

    Habe mir das Pixel 9a im Angebot geholt und nicht bereut. Zuvor etliche Testberichte gelesen und mit anderen Geräten verglichen.Lieferung erfolgte zuverlässig. Einrichtung und Datenübertragung mit meinem “Alten” erfolgte einfach und ohne Probleme. Der von etlichen Käufern zuvor geschilderte Bug mit der Endlosschleife beim Einrichten, scheint behoben. Alles super geklappt.Das Display ist super, mit der Kamera bin ich auch zufrieden und vor allem mit dem Akku. Bei normaler Nutzung komme ich fast 3 Tage hin – bin kein Video- Streamer. Was auch toll ist, man bekommt ein leeres Handy, ohne Bloatware, ohne Werbeapps oder irgendwelchen anderen Müll, der sich nicht deinstallieren lässt!Ich denke, ich habe hier einen richtig guten Kauf gemacht und werde lange Freude am Pixel 9a haben.
