The Pixel 9 family<\/a> was launched back in August, around two months earlier than Google’s previous events took place in past years. But the family still isn’t complete – the Pixel 9a<\/a> is left to join it. And it will do so sooner than you may have expected, according to a new rumor.<\/p>\n The Pixel 9a will be available for pre-order in mid-March, multiple sources have allegedly said. This is about – you guessed it – two months early compared to previous a series releases which took place around Google I\/O in May.<\/p>\n The Pixel 9a is then said to ship and become available in store before the end of March. As revealed recently<\/a>, it will be offered in Porcelain, Obsidian, Peony, and Iris colorways.<\/p>\n The same multiple sources are also claiming Google will permanently shift the a series release cycle to this new March timeframe. So don’t be surprised if the Pixel 10a lands in March 2026.<\/p>\n But wait, there’s more to this theme, as even Android 16 is rumored to arrive earlier than usual<\/a>, before the end of June in fact.<\/p>\n![\"Google](\"https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/24\/10\/google-pixel-9a-early-launch\/inline\/-1200\/gsmarena_001.jpg\"\/)
