Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR The Pixel 9a is exhibiting an odd “flickering” behavior during front-facer previews. The camera seems to be unable to decide on exposure settings, and jumps between different brightness levels. Despite the jarring preview effect, actual images taken with the phone appear normal. Update, April 18, 2025 (03:40 AM ET): Pixel 9a’s camera viewfinder flickering issues have been resolved with the latest update rolling out to the Pixel Camera app. If you are

Ryan Haines / Android Authority Between the Google Pixel 9a, Apple iPhone 16e, and Samsung Galaxy S24 FE, we’re spoiled for flagship-tier features without the price tags. Still, with prices ranging from $499 to $659 and a lot of differences under the hood, there’s plenty to weigh up when deciding between these three for your next purchase. Having previously examined the performance of these three plucky mid-rangers (TL;DR: the iPhone 16e and Galaxy S24 FE come out on top), it’s time to see whi

Lanh Nguyen / Android Authority TL;DR A recent update to the Pixel 9a caused the front-facing camera to glitch out during preview. Users observed a “flickering” effect where the camera seemed to jump between exposure levels. Now a new Pixel Camera update appears to fully resolve the issue. Google’s Pixel 9a may be the company’s new smartphone hotness, but earlier this week we shared an odd problem with you that new owners of the phone were experiencing.

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Android 16 Beta 4 arrives today for Pixel devices. New owners of the Pixel 9a can now enroll in the Beta program, their first opportunity to do so. Downloads for the Pixel 9a should also be available soon. Android development is proceeding a little differently this time around, with Google giving work on Android 16 a much earlier start than we’ve come to expect. But while Android 16 is moving on a bold new timetable, Google similarly pushed up its launch

Adamya Sharma / Android Authority Google took a small risk with the Pixel 9a design. In an age when the next generation of an Android phone can often look like a carbon copy of its predecessor, there’s always something refreshing about seeing a significant revamp. That said, it’s not always going to be considered a winning change, and we were curious to know if you felt it was an upgrade. We ran a few polls to find out.

When the first renders of the Pixel 9a leaked, I had a very negative gut reaction to the phone’s design. It looked cheap, it lacked personality, and I thought Google had ruined one of its Pixel line’s most iconic design features — the camera bump. Going for a nondescript flat camera module seemed to reduce the Pixel 9a to a generic-looking budget Android phone, not a unique one filled with Google’s personality and its camera and AI wizardry. I wasn’t too excited about testing the phone, but whe

Ryan Haines / Android Authority If you want flagship features without the price tag, there’s a good selection of options on the market right now. Google’s new Pixel 9a joins the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE and Apple iPhone 16e as great middle-of-the-market picks for the budget-conscious. In fact, the 9a is the cheapest of the three at just $499 rather than $659 and $599, respectively, yet it continues to sport a dual camera configuration and flagship-tier Tensor G4 processor.

Adamya Sharma / Android Authority Google’s A-series has long walked the line between affordability and premium feel. But with the launch of the Pixel 9a, the company seems to be charting a new course when it comes to design. While the Pixel 8a carried forward the signature look of the flagship Pixel 8 series with its distinctive camera bar, curved edges, and silky soft-touch matte back, the new Pixel 9a breaks away with a flatter, more minimalist aesthetic.

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority Google’s custom smartphone chips might not claim the performance crown, but one major benefit upside is that it can afford to use its latest Tensor G4 processor across its flagship Pixel 9 series and the new, affordable Pixel 9a. Of course, the budget model isn’t exactly alike; Google pairs it with just 8GB RAM, the packaging wrapping up the G4 appears to be cheaper, and the chip is paired with an older and less efficient modem.

During my first few weeks with it, I really liked Apple’s iPhone 16e. I appreciated that it fit comfortably in my pocket and hand and offered the best of iOS without tempting me to use my phone all day, every day. Yet, I couldn’t help but feel like it held onto just a few too many of the flaws that made the previous iPhone SE models hard to recommend — and then it broke my Spotify playlists. And now that I have Google’s excellent Pixel 9a in my pocket, I’m even more confused by the limits of the
