Google Pixel 9a to get an early launch
The Pixel 9 family was launched back in August, around two months earlier than Google"s previous events took place in past years. But the family still isn"t complete - the Pixel 9a is left to join it. And it will do so sooner than you may have expected, according to a new rumor.
The Pixel 9a will be available for pre-order in mid-March, multiple sources have allegedly said. This is about - you guessed it - two months early compared to previous a series releases which took place around Google I/O in May.

The same multiple sources are also claiming Google will permanently shift the a series release cycle to this new March timeframe. So don"t be surprised if the Pixel 10a lands in March 2026.
But wait, there"s more to this theme, as even Android 16 is rumored to arrive earlier than usual, before the end of June in fact.
