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.
