  • Google is reportedly planning to launch the Pixel 9a in March 2025, much earlier than its usual May timeline.
  • This could be Google’s strategy to compete with the iPhone SE, which is expected to launch around the same time.
  • The early launch trend could continue, with future Pixel devices following a similar schedule.

Google surprised the tech world this year by launching the Pixel 9 series in August, bucking the traditional October release cycle. Now, it appears this shift was not a one-time event, as leaks suggest the budget-friendly Pixel 9a is also slated for an unusually early launch.

According to a new report from Android Headlines, Google is planning to release the Pixel 9a as early as mid-March 2025. This is a significant departure from the usual May launch window for the Pixel A-series. The report, citing multiple sources, claims that pre-orders will begin in mid-March, with shipping and in-store availability following shortly after, before the end of the month.
