A moment agowe can render which shows off a redesigned camera for the upcoming Pixel 9a, which no longer has a case in favor of a slimmer look. Now, a new leak has emerged that further sheds light on the new budget model’s dimensions and possible color options.

As reported by Android HeadlinesThe Pixel 9a will come in four varied colors and stick with the familiar and standard Porcelain and Obsidian color shades. The Peony color choice is said to mirror the pink of the Pixel 9, and Iris is also added to the shade which could be called close to purple.

Apart from the four colors that the Pixel 9a might offer, the report suggests that the dimensions will also be changed in the upcoming model as it will be bigger and wider than its predecessor. Previous reports’ claims of a slimmer and thinner display also seem to continue in this leak, as the report highlights that the budget phone may be thinner than the previous version, namely 8.6mm.

We’re looking at reported dimensions similar to the standard Pixel 9, the only difference being that the 9a model is slightly wider due to thicker bezels.
