Google Pixel 9a just dropped to Rs 39,999 and that’s your cue to upgrade

Google’s ‘a’ series has always been the sensible pick for anyone who wants the Pixel experience without flagship-level spending. The Pixel 9a, launched in March 2025 at Rs 49,999, already struck a fine balance between performance, software smarts, and clean design. But if you’ve been waiting for that sweet spot where price meets practicality, the moment’s here.

The Google Pixel 9a is now available at Rs 39,999 on Croma, marking a tidy Rs 10,000 drop from its launch price. The offer includes a limited-time bank deal, and it might just be the nudge you need to finally join Team Pixel.

Here’s how to get the Google Pixel 9a for Rs 39,999

The Pixel 9a currently retails at Rs 44,999 on croma.com, a straight Rs 5,000 off its MRP. That’s for the 8GB+256GB variant, available in Obsidian, Porcelain, and the subtly playful Iris finish.

To unlock the full Rs 10,000 discount and bring it down to Rs 39,999, you’ll need an HDFC Bank Credit Card. The offer applies on 6-month No-Cost EMI transactions, and there’s one small catch; make sure the Pixel 9a is the only item in your cart when you check out.

Google Pixel 9a: Specs and features

The Pixel 9a’s design marks a quiet evolution. Gone is the trademark raised visor; in comes a flat camera bar that feels more modern and pocket friendly. The phone sports a 6.3-inch FHD+ pOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and 2,700 nits peak brightness, making it crisp, fluid, and sunlight-proof.

Under the hood, you get Google’s Tensor G4 chip, clocked up to 3.1GHz, paired with 8GB RAM. It runs Android 15 out of the box, with a staggering seven years of OS and security updates, meaning this phone will still be relevant well into the next decade.

The dual camera setup keeps things classic. You get a 48MP main sensor and a 13MP ultrawide lens, but now with a new macro mode for close-ups that actually impress. The 13MP selfie camera holds up well for casual portraits and video calls, too.

A 5,100mAh battery keeps the Pixel 9a ticking through a full day and then some, backed by 23W fast charging and 7.5W Qi wireless charging. It’s also the most durable ‘a’ model yet, boasting an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance, something even mid-tier phones rarely get right.

If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to jump into the Pixel ecosystem, this is it. The Pixel 9a combines Google’s AI prowess, long-term software updates, and a refined design into a package that now makes even more sense at Rs 39,999. Team Pixel fans, your patience just paid off.
