Google gave me exactly what I wanted with the Pixel 9a. So why am I not happier?
[ad_1]
If you are following my opinion pieces during the past few months (and their opinions, their number indicates Google's Pixel 10, Apple's iPhone 17 Air, Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip 7, etc., etc.
It is very easy to guess the reason, as most of you seem to be dear (and unique hate) are interested primarily interested in these most advanced phones (and expensive). But I am here today to make acknowledge. I am a medium -term man (not the best formulation for me, go ahead, laugh at him if you want).
If it is after me, it will not cost any phone more than $ 500 (forget $ 1,000 or 2000 dollars), and if that means the need to settle the camera system consists of only one or two sensors of sensors other than a festival or a "cheap" plastic body, I am completely fine with that. One thing I never liked to settle, however, is the battery life, so you can imagine my enthusiasm when I heard for the first time Pixel 9A was set to break the 5000mAh cell size barrier.
Is the pixel 9A all that can be?
Unfortunately, I think the simple answer to this question is no. Let me explain. Compared to last year Pixel 8A, 9A 0.2 inches of real estate on the screen, about 600 mAh of additional battery juice, height of 2.6 mm, 0.6 mm width, 0 mm depth, and ... two negative in weight.
Now, I don't know much about smartphone engineering, but there is something that tells me that Google could have increased the battery size if the diameter of the Qatari grows 0.1 or 0.2 inches or if it is Pixel 9AThe profile jump on the 9 mm sign.
Although I am definitely not a big admirer with huge laptops with clouds, I don't think I would have been disgusted, for example, 9.2 or 9.3 mm thick Pixel 9A With a 6.5 -inch plate, or so and a 5500 battery, or 5700 mAh per hour, I bet many of you would like these numbers as well.

Do not make me wrong, it is clear that Google is on the right track here, with a focus on promotions that concern many for many smart phone users on this day and this age (Including Apple fans), but it seems that the search giant has not stopped hitting the sweet -range spot with a battery 5100mAh battery. Pixel 9A.
This is very clear (for me, at least) by the elegant company The official comparison tool here, which sets Pixel 9Aand Pixel 9, and Pixel 9 Pro at the same battery life for 100 hours with "Extreme Battery Saver". Grant, 9A rises the tower over the end of the high -end Brothers Cousins ​​when it comes to carrying the daily battery in the conditions of "regular" use, in "30+ hours" compared to "24+ hours" for each of Pixel 9 And 9 Pro, but I must admit that I expected a more fundamental upgrade on that front.
Perhaps this was a fool or naive from me, and perhaps Pixel 9A It will perform better and continue for a longer period of use of real life than now, but for the time being, I feel ... I feel confused at best.
This delay does not look good
While no one knows exactly the reason for this unusual delay, as he announced a new device that was completely leaked months ago without a clear timetable for its issuance that repeats painful memories of an era that I believed had ended for Google smartphones.

This is not a company known for repairing "components quality problems" very quickly and very comprehensive, keep in mind, so while I may come to myself here, I am afraid Pixel 9A Launch can become a failure of historical dimensions soon.
Certainly, the ambiguity around the component is below the level that affects the "small number" of early 9A units does not help Google, and I feel almost that it was better not to announce the phone yesterday if it was not ready for time. After all, and Pixel 8A It will only turn one in two months, so I don't really understand why Big G is forced to rush to a complement and reminds us essentially why their global sales numbers are still behind Apple and Samsung numbers.
