Google's fan-favorite phone just got refreshed! Among the many changes and upgrades, the Pixel 9a comes with a brand new design too, so some of you might be wondering how it stacks up size-wise next to other Pixel phones, as well as the competition.

The Pixel 9a departs from the iconic camera bar seen in the last three generations of the "a" series. Instead, its cameras sit nearly flush with the back panel, making the device noticeably slimmer in that area.

Here you will find how the Pixel 9a's size and weight compared to some of the best Google Pixel phones, as well as some of the best mid-range phones on the market.

At 186 g (6.6 oz), the Pixel 9a stands as the lightest Pixel model from Google's latest lineup. The difference in weight will be especially noticeable if you hold it next to the Pixel 9 Pro, and even more so when comparing it to the Pixel 9 Pro XL.

In terms of dimensions, the new body of the 9a is ever so slightly larger than the Pixel 9 and 9 Pro, but still quite smaller than the Pixel 9 Pro XL.

The Pixel 9a is the lightest "a" series model for the last few years, although the difference won't be noticeable if you are coming from the Pixel 8a. It manages that similar weight to the 8a because it no longer has the hefty camera module, even though it is slightly taller and wider.

The differences with the older generations are similar to those with the 8a.

While it is much smaller and lighter than other mid-range Android phones, like the Galaxy S24 FE and the OnePlus 13R, the Pixel 9a is still not as compact and light as Apple's recently released iPhone 16e—a new mid-range iPhone that succeeds the SE series.

Compared to the Androids, the 9a is significantly lighter, shorter and narrower. That said, it is much thicker, at 8.9 mm vs 8 mm on the S24 FE and 13R.

It's important to mention that the iPhone 16e, while the most compact, comes with a massive downside, which is its single camera at the back. In comparison, the 9a comes with two cameras.
