Pixel 9a in Obsidian with 256 GB storage and 8 GB RAM, built on Google's Tensor G4. It pairs a 48 MP wide and 13 MP ultra-wide camera with a 160 mm (6.3-inch) 120 Hz pOLED screen, a 5,100 mAh typical battery and IP68 protection.

Specifications checked 26 Sept 2026Manufacturer specifications, not a hands-on test.
Google lists seven years of OS, security and Pixel Drop updates for the Pixel 9a.
IP68 dust and water resistance and Qi wireless charging are both listed, alongside a 5,100 mAh typical (5,000 mAh minimum) battery.
The 1080 × 2424 pOLED screen refreshes at 60–120 Hz with a claimed 2,700-nit peak.
There is no telephoto camera: zoom beyond 1x is Super Res Zoom (up to 8x), and only the wide camera is optically stabilised.
Google publishes no wired charging rate (only a USB PD charger range of 7.5–27 W), wireless charging is up to 7.5 W with Qi-certified EPP chargers, and no charger comes in the box.
The UK unit (GTF7P) and the US unit (GXQ96) are different hardware models with different network bands; the screen is covered by Corning Gorilla Glass 3.

SourceThe same facts in the manufacturer’s combined or original wording, each with its source.
No dedicated telephoto: Google lists Super Res Zoom up to 8x (digital) and 'optical quality' at 0.5x and 1x. Wide 1/2" sensor, 82° field of view, Quad PD Dual Pixel; ultra-wide 1/3.1" sensor, 120°; selfie 96.1° field of view. Front video 4K 30 fps.
SourceNo telephoto camera is listed; Super Res Zoom up to 8x is digital/computational.
SourceVideo is listed up to 4K; 8K recording is not mentioned.
SourceThe wide camera is listed as 'Quad PD Dual Pixel' but the page does not explicitly state autofocus for either rear camera; not converted into a capability claim.
SourceListed for the wide camera only; the ultra-wide lists none.
SourceThe manufacturer does not say whether the front camera has autofocus.
SourceThe manufacturer does not say whether the front camera has optical stabilisation.
SourceTypical; minimum rated capacity 5,000 mAh.
SourceGoogle lists only 'Fast charging' and publishes no wired charging rate or charge time; its footnote says fast wired charging rates are based on the Google 45W USB-C Charger (sold separately). The UK configuration page's charger label says this SKU supports USB PD chargers with power minimum 7.5 W and maximum 27 W (charger not included). That is charger compatibility, not a charging rate, so the value stays unknown.
Qi certified. Google's UK specification footnote gives a wireless charging rate of up to 7.5 W with Qi-certified EPP chargers (sold separately) and says actual results may be slower.
SourceGoogle publishes no wired charging rate: its footnote says fast wired charging rates are based on the Google 45W USB-C Charger (adapters sold separately). Wireless charging is up to 7.5 W with Qi-certified EPP chargers. Battery-life claims (30+ hours; up to 100 hours with Extreme Battery Saver) are Google estimates, not independent tests.
SourceManufacturer 'up to' figure with Qi-certified EPP chargers (sold separately); Google says actual results may be slower. Not a measured rate.
SourceUK page lists model GTF7P with LTE bands 1/2/3/4/5/7/8/12/17/18/19/20/21/26/28/32/38/39/40/41/42/66/75. The US store page instead lists model GXQ96 with US carrier bands (e.g. LTE 13/14/25/29/30/48/71, 5G n70/n71), so the UK and US units are different hardware models. Check carrier support before using one region's model in the other.
Satellite SOS is not listed in Google's UK Safety specification for this model, so check before relying on it.
SourceGoogle's page does not state the start date on this page; Google's policy for Pixel counts from the model's initial availability, so the remaining term is shorter for a model launched with Android 15.
SourceOS, security and Pixel Drop updates; counted by Google from initial availability, not from purchase.
SourceNo charger is listed in the box.
SourceGoogle UK Store price for Pixel 9a Obsidian 256 GB (unlocked) on 26 September 2026, when it was the only in-stock UK Pixel 9a configuration (the 128 GB and other colours showed 'Out of stock'). Not a live offer; retailer prices may differ.
