The Google Pixel 9a is available at Amazon and almost any other retailer you can imagine. There are some great Pixel 9a deals available as well, but one of the advantages to buying from Amazon is the fast shipping and the fact that the phone is unlocked.

The Google Pixel 9a is just about the best $500 phone we’ve ever tested, with the build quality, performance and battery life of rivals that are much more expensive.

Owners of the new Pixel 9a are now able to enroll their phone in Google’s Android Beta for Pixel program. Once you do so, you can look forward to receiving your Android 16 Beta 4 update as an OTA update, that you’ll get a notification to install.
