Google launches Pixel 9a, its Apple iPhone 16e rival, with dual cameras, 120Hz display and more affordable price

Google launched the Pixel 9a in India today. As expected, it is the most affordable member of the Pixel 9 family, sort of like what the iPhone 16e represents for Apple’s iPhone 16 series. The new, “most affordable Pixel 9” phone—Pixel 9a—comes with dual rear cameras, a fast 120Hz display, and—this is the most important part—a more aggressive price tag. The Pixel 9a starts at Rs 49,999 which is Rs 3,000 less than its predecessor, Pixel 8a, and a whopping Rs 9,901 less than the iPhone 16e.
