CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: Google’s upcoming mid-range smartphone, the Pixel 9a, is reportedly set to launch with a downgraded modem compared to its flagship counterparts, the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro. While the Pixel 9 series is expected to come equipped with an advanced modem offering superior connectivity and network performance, leaks suggest that Google has opted for a more cost-effective modem for the Pixel 9a to keep the price competitive.
This decision could impact network reception, call quality, and overall mobile data performance, especially in areas with weak signals. Many users had hoped that the Pixel 9a would inherit the flagship-level connectivity features, but Google appears to be following a similar strategy as previous A-series models, where compromises are made in hardware to maintain affordability.
Despite the modem downgrade, the Pixel 9a is still expected to feature a powerful Tensor G3 chipset, a high-quality camera setup, and Google’s signature AI-powered features. However, concerns over modem performance may raise questions about the device’s ability to compete with other mid-range smartphones in the market.
The Pixel 9a is likely to launch in mid-2025, with more details expected in the coming months. Google has yet to confirm the modem specifications officially, leaving room for speculation about how this hardware choice will affect real-world usage.
