Google removed the camera bump on the Pixel 9a, and I'm not a fan. The smooth back of the phone now lacks character.

Google finally took the wraps off the Pixel 9a last week. The phone looks like a strong bargain, offering a lot of what makes the Pixel 9 a good phone — the Tensor G4 chipset, a 120Hz OLED display, and a fun, colorful design — for all of $500.
