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.
