The Google Pixel 9A is getting a partial price hike according to a new leak from Android Headlines. The phone will start at $499 for 128GB of storage, the same price as last year’s Pixel 8A, though there’ll be a premium to pay for the 256GB version: that will apparently cost $599, an increase of $40 on the 8A equivalent.

According to a report from Android Headlines that only credits “our sources”, the Google Pixel 9a will launch at $499 in the US for the model with 128GB of storage – that’s the same as the current-gen Pixel 8a, and if prices hold steady elsewhere, that means we’ll see a launch price of £499 / AU$849 in the UK and Australia.
