On Wednesday, Google announced the Pixel 9A. Just a couple of hours later, we found out there's been a minor delay in actually getting the phone into people's hands.

In addition, the smartphone features an upgraded 6.3-inch Actua display, which Google says is the brightest display on an A-series ever. For comparison, the new display is 35% brighter than the Pixel 8a at 2700 nits. The 9a also features a 120 Hz adaptive refresh rate for a smoother experience.

Earlier this year, the company issued an urgent firmware update for the long-discontinued Pixel 4A to address battery overheating concerns. (The 5,100mAh battery in the Pixel 9A is the largest of any Google phone to date.) Google has also had to extended warranty coverage for display defects on the Pixel 8.
