However not earlier than 9to5Google noticed a black gadget sitting on the desk, which seems to be Google’s upcoming Pixel 9a. The video could also be gone, however the publication managed to seize some screenshots. The gadget undoubtedly matches the Pixel 9a renders we’ve seen thus far, and Google’s signature “G” emblem on its again strongly means that this might be the ultimate manufacturing {hardware}.

Now, I normally love the whole lot matte black, however I’ve to confess that the Pixel 9a appears a bit too plain.
