Even before the recent rise in device prices in 2026 due to the shortage of memory chips, phones have steadily become more and more expensive in Malaysia. Many experts say prices may not go down until 2030, so instead of upgrading every year, perhaps you should buy 1 device that would last 4 years or more instead? Check it out here.

Google has officially announced the release of their Pixel 10a smartphone for RM2299 from 5 March 2026. Tech specs include a Google Tensor G4 chipset, 3000nits 6.3-inch Actua display with Corning Gorilla Glass 7i, 8GB RAM +128GB / 256GB storage, IP68 water and dust resistance, 48MP + 13MP ultrawide dual rear camera and more. 

The Google Pixel 9a is now officially available in Malaysia starting from 16 April 2025 at RM2699, making it the most affordable or entry-level Pixel smartphone in the Pixel 9 series.

How does it perform against its other Gemini AI-powered siblings? Find out in our full review of the Google Pixel 9a below.

Previously, we reported on the Google Pixel 9a’s announcement in Malaysia, with the device officially going on sale in our country today. Accordingly, consumers in Malaysia can now get their hands on the new Pixel a-series device, so read on to learn more.

With the Google Pixel 9, Google has introduced several new AI features specifically for those who buy this new flagship device. Among them are Pixel Screenshots for getting context from within screenshot images and Call Notes for transcribing phone calls via the voice recorder app. These two features have been confirmed not to be supported on the newly launched Pixel 9a.

The Google Pixel 9a is set to launch in Malaysia with a price of RM 2699. This device comes with Gemini AI, a 48MP camera, and promises seven years of updates. It will be available in the Google Store and other Malaysian retail outlets starting April 2025 (Update: In recent announcements the Pixel 9a will be released in Malaysia in 16 April 2025). 

While minor 'leaks' are not rare these days, it still surprises us to see a product completely unveiled by non-official sources. The Google Pixel 9a has already started appearing in YouTube videos, which confirms that an imminent launch could happen soon.

It seems that the Google Pixel 9a is coming to Malaysia soon. The upcoming new member of the Pixel 9 series was spotted on the e-ComM database by SIRIM. There is a good chance that we may see the launch this month.
