9 Google Pixel 9a Camera Features That Carry On The Pixel Photography Legacy

Google on March 19 unveiled its all-new mid-price smartphone—the Pixel 9a—at a competitive $499 (Rs 49,999 in India) price point. With a refreshed design that ditches the signature Pixel camera bar but makes it ultra-sleek without the bump, along with a powerful Tensor G4 chipset and 5,100mAh battery, the Pixel 9a surely comes across as a good mid-range buy.

But this is a Pixel we’re talking about, and with this moniker comes great expectations when it comes to the camera. So, here’s a look at Pixel 9a’s camera set and features that you must try.

The Pixel 9a carries the photography legacy of Pixel devices, boasting one of the best camera sets in the mid-range. It features an upgraded dual rear camera system with a 48MP primary camera and a 13MP ultrawide shooter.

For selfie lovers, it has a 13MP front camera, so overall it’s a decent camera set.

Thanks to the Tensor G4 chipset, the Pixel 9a takes AI photography to the next level with ease. Here are some of its camera features to try:

Macro Focus: With Maro Focus for the first time in an “a” series phone, you can get real close to a subject and take detailed pictures.

Add Me: The Add Me feature, which debuted in the Pixel 9 series, is making its entry into the “a” series. By combining two group shots into one, this function allows everyone—including you as a photographer—to appear in the picture.

Best Take: With Best Take, facial expressions from multiple pictures can be combined to produce the ideal group shot.

Magic Editor: The AI photo editing tools enable you to change pretty much everything in your pic: moving around items in the frame, deleting elements, and more.

Auto Frame: Magic Editor with Auto Frame allows you to automatically reframe your pictures, recommending the ideal crop and even enlarging your shot to capture more of the scene.

Reimagine: Using Reimagine in Magic Editor, you can do everything from adding fall leaves or green grass to your pic, tapping what you wish to change and typing how you want the pic to be.

Night Sight: Night Sight allows you to take high-quality photos even in low light, and the Pixel 9a also takes panorama pictures with Night Sight.

Astrophotography: When the phone’s sensors detect a very dark environment, Astrophotography is automatically prompted, allowing you to take vivid images of the night sky.

Audio Magic Eraser: For noiseless videos, the feature removes distracting sounds such as wind, crowds and other noises to offer clear audio.
