          This will for sure be a good competitor against the 16e for 200 cheaper, 120hz and 7 years of OS Updates, that's a good deal

                Totally flat back? Really dig that! But the bezel design feels like the same ODM doing the recent Galaxy A and FE series. No reason for such thick bezel in 2025 other than intentional design choice to show user they have the cheaper model.

                      F4RH4NC, 08 Mar 2025Will this have uniform bezel?It has ALL the bezel.

                        Will this have uniform bezel?

                          Hot take: The design looks good, even better than the rest Pixel 9 lineup.

                              Price is too high should be 300-400.

                                Akio , 07 Mar 2025I'm profoundly unimpressed with the design. Doesn'... moreThe Realme GT 6 has a very decent primary camera, but like so many Chinese OEMs, the selfie camera produces very ordinary shots. I'd prefer it if OEMs got the primary and selfie cameras right before marketing ultrawide, periscope and macro, etc, sensors. My old Pixel 4a 5G takes better photos than some current phones.

                                  Why limit the charging to 23W? The Pixel 8 and 9 are 27W. At least we've moved on from 18W, I guess.

                                  Those bezels immediately place the 9a in the no-buy bucket. I don't care if the camera is better than some alternatives.

                                      Anonymous, 07 Mar 2025Google hate putting white men in their marketing.Because cameras struggle with skin tone of non white people, it's a marketing material to say that they got it right.

                                        I wish Google gave the a series a Tensor chip without the AI “features”. That way it would appeal to people who don’t want ai crap on their phones, and Google could also cut the price because they’re using a binned chip. The only problem is that Google won’t do that because they’re not a phone company, they’re a “whatever makes us the most profit for the next quarter” company. And right now, the best way for them to get that unsustainable short term growth is with ai
