I’m an Apple purist but the Pixel 9a might convert me

Leaked renders have revealed the potential design for the new Google Pixel 9a, and despite being an Apple purist I'm thoroughly impressed. As a sucker for a sleek minimalist phone design, the 9a brings the promise of an unfussy device that looks surprisingly different from its predecessors, doing away with the clunky camera bar for a sleeker appeal.

A solid contender for the best budget camera phones, the 9a is a unique spin on the Pixel series design. From the leaked renders, the latest model looks reminiscent of earlier iPhone models, sporting a flat, compact design. In a sea of flipping and foldable devices, the 9a's subdued design is exactly what I want from a phone – simple style and function.
