Google Pixel 9a Teardown Video Smartphone
This Google Pixel 9a teardown video by PBKreviews surfaced ahead of the phone’s official launch scheduled for next week (around April 10-16, 2025, depending on the region). For starters, it shows that you can access the device’s internals either through the display or the rear panel after applying heat.



The teardown focuses on the rear entry, but PBK notes that screen replacement is straightforward—pry off the top, remove a screw, and disconnect the display cable without needing to remove other components. There’s a motherboard cover secured with 16 screws, while a graphite film covers the NFC and wireless charging coils.

A copper vapor chamber, previously exclusive to higher-end models like the Pixel 9 Pro, is included for improved thermal management—a nice upgrade for the mid-range 9a. The 5,100 mAh battery has pull tabs for removal, but they’re not very effective due to strong adhesive. A single screw secures a cover over the battery connector.

The Pixel 9a’s original launch date was delayed from late March to April due to a “component quality issue” affecting a small number of units. It features the Tensor G4 chip, 8GB of RAM, and starts at $499, positioning it as a strong mid-range contender.
