Leaked Official Pixel 9a Cases Confirm The Loss Of Google's Camera Bar Design [Gallery]

Through early leaks of the Pixel 9a’s design, it’s been obvious that Google is making a big change to its well-known camera bar and, now, the latest leaks show off the case which all but confirms the removal of the recognizable design element.

As shared by Android Authority, images of Google’s official Pixel 9a cases help to cement the design of the company’s next mid-range release. It has the same general shape and look as the current Pixel 9 series, with a “G” logo in the center and colors that match the rest of the series. The inside of the case has a microfiber finish.

But what’s readily apparent is that the camera cutout on this case is aligned to the left side of the case, rather than spanning the entire width as found on the Pixel 9, 9 Pro, and 9 Pro XL. That’s because the camera bar is not on place on this device, as previous leaks have shown.

Another leak this week offered a view from the front, revealing a glimpse of the bezels.

These cases are also shown in four colors – pink, black, purple, and white. These likely align to previously-leaked color names including “Peony,” “Obsidian,” “Iris,” and “Porcelain.” We haven’t heard any further details on these names, but they all align with Google’s usual marketing names.

What do you think of Google’s next mid-range device so far?
