- Benchmarks for Pixel 9A has been shown online
- Some – but not all – of the scores matching Pixel 9
- The handset could be launched sometime this month
If the rumors we have heard so far turn out to be accurate, we could see the official launch of Google Pixel 9A already next week – and fresh benchmarks that have shown us online give us an idea of the kind of performance we can expect from it.
These benchmarks come from Tipster @karoulsahil (via notebookcheck) and are presumably from a device tested somewhere, in front of the full disclosure. The statistics include an antutu score of 1,049,844 and geekbench scores of 1,530 (single-core) and 3,344 (multi-core).
While this Antutu score is the same as the existing Google Pixel 9 telephones -as you would expect, given that Pixel 9A is predicted to run the same Tensor G4 processor inside -Geekbench is somehow shortly after flagship phones that Google revealed last August.
There may be a few reasons for this, with the primary one most likely to be a Pixel 9A running pre-launch software that has not yet been optimized correctly. There may be a few hardware adjustments that still need to be made.
The price is right?

Given the story of this middle-class phone series, our Google Pixel 8A review, for example, it is unlikely that we will be too surprised at what Pixel 9A has to offer in terms of performance when it finally shows up.
Typically with these phones, the internal specifications have been comparable to the flagship models that came in front of them, while cost savings have been made in design and materials. It makes them a more affordable choice if you don’t want the most expensive pixel phones that Google has to offer.
As always, prices will be crucial. Pixel 8A was launched at a starting price of $ 499 / £ 499 / AU $ 849, and it looks like the 128 GB model for Google Pixel 9A will match it. However, we have also heard that the variant with 256 GB of storage costs a little more than its predecessor.
It seems that there is a surprising design decision in the way we need to come to light: Google is apparently getting rid of the classic pixel camera, so it will have a flatter back than the phones that came before it.
