The upcoming addition to the Pixel A lineup is set to arrive by the month’s end. Recent leaks and speculations suggest that Google plans to unveil the Pixel 8a (currently priced at $299.89 for a refurbished model on Amazon) around March 17 or 19. In any case, the Pixel 9a is expected to be officially announced next week, just about five months prior to the introduction of Google’s Pixel 10 flagship models.
Pricing Details
As per several sources, the Pixel 9a will likely retain a price similar to its predecessor across most regions. The starting price for the device should be around $499 for the 128 GB version, or £499 in the UK, €549 in the Eurozone, and CA$679 in Canada. Meanwhile, this year’s 256 GB model is expected to see a price hike to $599, £599, €649, and CA$809, respectively.
Special Offer
In connection with this, Roland Quandt has reported that Google intends to provide a complimentary TV Streamer with Pixel 9a purchases. This is likely the existing Google TV Streamer (4K), which is sold for $99.99, rather than a new or lower-end version.
The leak indicates that this promotion will apply to customers who order a Pixel 9a through select Google partners in Europe. While it’s assumed that this could include major third-party retailers, it remains uncertain if Google will extend a similar offer in other regions like North America and the UK.
