In the lead-up to its anticipated release next month, Google’s Pixel 9a is just leaking. We have a brief hands-on video today that demonstrates its absence of a camera bump.

Here, we can see the phone in its Obsidian color scheme, which is simply black to those of us who are not Google users. The Pixel 9a’s extremely small camera bump—we mean, so minuscule in thickness—is also readily apparent, which means that it will not be the thinnest phone on the market by any means and that it will not contain high-end camera sensors, which call for considerably larger camera humps.

According to rumors, the Pixel 9a will be launched on March 19 and go on sale on March 26. With 128GB of storage, it will start at $499, while 256GB will cost $599. 8GB of RAM, a 6.28-inch OLED screen with a maximum brightness of 2,700 nit, the Tensor G4 SoC at the center, a 48 MP primary camera, a 13 MP ultrawide, and a 5,100 mAh battery are all included in both models. It will come pre-installed with Android 15 and be available in Porcelain, Iris, and Peony in addition to Obsidian.
