Bay and Aloe are out, Peony and Iris are in
Iris, in the meantime, seems like a wholly new hue for the Pixel household, changing the present Bay paint job as a “bluish-purple choice” more likely to attraction to plenty of consumers who wish to stand out from the longer term crowd of 9a house owners, however possibly not as a lot as Peony adopters.
The Pixel 9a appears to be like a bit… muted in comparison with the 8a in these leaked renders.
Peony and Iris will be a part of the Porcelain and Obsidian colorways that aren’t going wherever, which implies that the Aloe taste can be set to go the way in which of the dodo… and the aforementioned Bay mannequin.

The twin digital camera setup sitting flush on the Pixel 9a‘s again, in the meantime, wants a giant sensor enhance to make up for that doubtful design change, which… might or might not occur. The 120Hz refresh rate-capable OLED show could be very more likely to go largely unchanged (as there’s not plenty of room left for enchancment within the mid-range section), and if the 8GB RAM rely and entry-level 128GB storage choice are additionally not revised, maybe a worth minimize is feasible.
