- Several YouTube videos appeared today showing the Samsung Galaxy S25 edge, but they were quickly taken down.
- One of these videos briefly showed what appears to be a black pixel 9a resting on a desk, and possibly confirms the final hardware design.
- Pixel 9a is expected to start in March, probably after Apple’s recent release of the iPhone 16e.
Today’s rumor mill has delivered a double dose of tension for smartphone enthusiasts. Earlier today we reported a YouTube video that gave us our First practical look at Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge. But as quickly as it appeared, the video was taken down. However, the leak did not end there. Another video, entitled ”Samsung Galaxy S25 edge camera samples“Also popped up, probably from the same source, before he met the same fate.
But not before 9to5google Discovered a black device sitting on the desk, which appears to be Google’s upcoming Pixel 9a. The video may be gone, but the publication managed to catch some screens. The device definitely matches Pixel 9a reproduces We have seen so far, and Google’s signature “G” logo on the back strongly suggests that this may be the final production machine product.
Now I usually love all matte black, but I have to admit that Pixel 9a looks a little too common. The camera module is almost in flight with the back, and it does not happen much when it comes to design shocks. A color pop on the power button or a contrast around the camera bump may have added some personality. Right now it looks like a dummy device. Hopefully, Google will have some fun color options in the store when it is officially launched.
When we talk about launch, Pixel 9a is expected to debut sometime in March, originally timed to land before Apple’s rumored iPhone see 4. But with Apple already dropping the iPhone 16e this month, Google’s next budget -friendly pixel should not be too far behind. Until then, we have to keep our eyes peel for more leaks coming our way.
