Pixel 9a Alleged Hands-on Video Suggests New Camera Interface and Zoom Options

Pixel 9a is expected to launch soon, and we have already seen leaks about the specification, pricing and pre-order dates of Google's next mid-range phone. Now, a new hands-on has video emerged online, giving us a look at the device's design. The footage shows the phone in a black shade with a slightly-flushed camera island at the rear. The new video doesn't provide any new details about the Pixel 9a, but it hints at the phone's camera interface and zoom capabilities.

A 1.44-minute video posted by YouTuber Alexis Garza gives us a detailed look at the alleged Pixel 9a. The video shows a matte black model, which is likely to be marketed as Obsidian. In the video, the YouTuber is seen using the phone to shoot a wrestling event. It shows the phone's camera interface and suggests three zoom options — 0.5x, 1x, and 2x.

The video shows the Pixel 9a with pill-shaped flushed rear camera bump which we've seen in previous leaks. The camera unit is arranged horizontally in the back panel and the Google logo is also visible on the rear panel. It has a hole-punch display design as well.
