The Google Pixel 9a is here, and it packs a new primary rear camera for the first time in two generations. Google ditched the 64MP primary sensor on the Pixel 8a and Pixel 7a for a 48MP wide camera on the Pixel 9a. By now, you might be wondering why Google went with a smaller primary camera sensor with fewer megapixels and how it performs compared to previous-generation Pixels.
As it turns out, Google switched to a different main camera in part to make the Pixel 9's almost-flush camera system possible. "Pixel 9a has an all-new rear main camera that enables the new industrial design and new Macro Focus," the company told Android Central.
