Google Pixel 9a / Google Pixel 9 Pro

Google Pixel 9a: Pixel 9a; 8 GB RAM with 128 or 256 GB. The band list on this page belongs to the GTF7P model on the UK page; model codes and 5G bands can differ in other markets. The Pixel 9 and Pixel 10a are separate models.

Google Pixel 9 Pro: 16 GB RAM, 128 GB–1 TB; rest-of-world model GEC77 (5G Sub-6), US model GR83Y (adds mmWave), Japan GWVK6. The Pixel 9 Pro XL offers the same hardware with a 6.8-inch display and a larger battery.

Release year20252024
Display6.3-inch (160 mm) Actua pOLED; 1080 × 2424, 422 ppi; 60–120 Hz Smooth Display; 1,800 nits HDR, 2,700 nits peak

Smooth Display switches between 60 and 120 Hz depending on content, so scrolling is smooth and static screens save power. 2,700 nits is the peak for a small area; the full-screen HDR figure is 1,800 nits.

Google
6.3-inch (161 mm) Super Actua LTPO OLED; 1280 × 2856, 495 ppi, 20:9; HDR support

It is a higher-resolution panel in the same body as the Pixel 9; 495 ppi renders text and photo edges more sharply. Because the corners are rounded, the visible area is slightly smaller than the measured diagonal.

Google
Cover glassCorning Gorilla Glass 3

Gorilla Glass 3 is an older Corning glass generation; the Pixel 9 and 9 Pro use the newer Victus 2.

DurabilityIP68; matte composite back, satin metal frame

IP68 describes dust-tightness and water resistance under defined conditions; liquid damage is usually not covered by warranty.

Google
IP68 dust and water resistance (IEC 60529)

Google notes the protection can diminish with wear, repair or drops and that liquid damage voids the warranty.

Refresh rate—Smooth Display, 1–120 Hz (LTPO)

The LTPO panel drops as low as 1 Hz for static content and the always-on display to save power, and rises to 120 Hz when scrolling. Google notes 120 Hz is not available in every app.

Google
Brightness and contrast—Up to 2,000 nits (HDR) and up to 3,000 nits peak; >2,000,000:1 contrast

HDR brightness is measured with the whole screen lit and peak brightness with only 5% lit; the peak applies to small bright areas in sunlight.

Google
Cover glass and build—Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 front and back (silky matte back); polished aluminium frame

The finishes are the reverse of the Pixel 9, which has a glossy back and a matte frame. The aluminium in the housing is 100% recycled.

Google
Main camera—50 MP Octa PD wide; f/1.68, 82° field of view, 1/1.31-inch sensor; optical + electronic stabilisation

Pro controls allow full 50 MP capture; the Pixel 9 only saves binned 12.5 MP photos. Optical quality is offered at 0.5x, 1x, 2x, 5x and 10x.

Google
Ultrawide camera—48 MP Quad PD; f/1.7, 123° field of view, 1/2.55-inch sensor, autofocus, Macro Focus Google
Telephoto camera—48 MP Quad PD; f/2.8, 22° field of view, 5x optical zoom, 1/2.55-inch sensor, optical stabilisation; Super Res Zoom up to 30x

Magnification beyond 5x is done in software; Google says 10x still gives near-optical quality. A multi-zone laser (LDAF) sensor assists focusing.

Google
Battery—4,700 mAh typical (minimum 4,558 mAh); 24+ hours, up to 100 hours with Extreme Battery Saver

The battery matches the Pixel 9’s capacity. Figures come from pre-production tests in the US using a median user profile.
