The presentation of Pixel 9A was one of the most anticipated of the year, and immediately became one of the most recommended Android mobiles for its ‘hardware’ and especially, for its ‘software’, with system updates for 7 years and access to Gemini’s latest news.
Although the 549 euros price It is a jump with respect to the previous generation, the Pixel 9A is still one of the reference models in the mid -range. However, there was a detail that Google was not able to clarify, possibly the most important: the release date. The maximum that the company was able to say was that the device was going to be available in April.
Shortly after, the reason why Google could not be more precise: a problem at Pixel 9A had caused a Delay in the planned launch. The good news is that Google discovered the problem before the device reached the first customers; The bad one, who did not know when I was going to be able to solve it.
Fortunately, it has not been necessary to expect much. Today, Google has confirmed that Pixel 9a will be released in Spain on April 14although the Spaniards will not be the first to receive it. Perhaps because of the delay in the production caused by the aforementioned problem, Google has opted for a progressive launch, and Pixel 9a will not reach everyone at the same time.
The United States, Canada and the United Kingdom will be the first countries to receive the 9A Pixel next April 10; Spain and most EU countries, such as Germany, Italy, France, Portugal and Eastern Europe will receive it on April 14. Finally, Australia, India, Singapore, Taiwan and Malaysia will have it available on April 16. It is striking that an important market, Japan, still has no launch date, although Google states that “it will arrive soon.”
Google has also had words for all the rumors that were published when the delay of Pixel 9A was confirmed. The company states that “Rumors and speculation about this delay are false”and explained that it has happened because “a passive component” in the 9A Pixel did not meet the quality standards related to the longevity of the device.
As a result, instead of launching it to the market, Google made “the difficult decision” to delay pixel 9a and correct the problem, although he affirms that he was present only in “a small amount of units.” Therefore, Google did not want to share exactly what the problem he discovered, although at least we know that It had to do with “longevity”indicating that a piece may not last everything that should. However, it is better not to make speculation without knowing more about the device, which will arrive in Spain in a couple of weeks.
