Google Pixel 9a has been spotted on another certification website, in a sign that its debut could be right around the corner. The company is said to be planning the launch of a midrange smartphone equipped with its Tensor G4 chip. We can also expect the Pixel 9a to run on Android 15 out-of-the-box — it might debut before the arrival of Android 16, which is scheduled to release by the end of Q2 2025. The successor to the Pixel 8a is also expected to pack a 5,100mAh battery.

The upcoming Google Pixel 9a was spotted on the EMVCo certification website (via 91Mobiles) and the listing reveals that the handset bears the model number GTF7P. The name of the handset is not mentioned in the document, which was published on the consortium’s website on January 31.
Google’s upcoming Pixel 9a will run on Android 15 out-of-the-box, according to the listing. Previous reports suggest that the company will launch the smartphone in March, which could make this the first year that the handset is being launched before the search giant’s Google I/O event in May.
Google Pixel 9a Specifications (Expected)
The specifications of the Pixel 9a were leaked in December 2024, and the upcoming midrange smartphone is expected to sport a 6.3-inch Actua display, with 2,700nits peak brightness and Gorilla Glass 3 protection. The smartphone is likely to run on a Tensor G4 chip from Google, along with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of inbuilt storage. It is also said to have an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance.
Google will also reportedly equip the upcoming Pixel 9a with a 48-megapixel primary camera and a 13-megapixel ultrawide camera, while the phone could feature a 13-megapixel ultrawide camera, like its predecessor. The handset is expected to feature a 5,100mAh battery, with 23W (wired) and 7.5W (wireless) charging. It is also likely to feature an in-display fingerprint scanner.
