More updates on Pixel 9a
1. The Camera Bump
Google in its blog post shared low resolution images of “variety of designs for the rear camera bump,”. But Google wanted to maintain familiar design elements like the camera’s pill shape, while also embracing minimalism.
2. Pixel 9a features a Vapor Chamber!
Pixel 9 Pro/XL are the first pixels to feature a VC while the regular Pixel 9 lacks. But surprisingly, even the Pixel 9a packs a VC. If you are wondering 'why', that's basically done to manage heat caused due to inferior packaging method i.e 'iPOP' with Pixel 9a' Tensor G4. Pixel 9's SoC uses FO-PLP packaging method while the Pixel 9 Pro/XL Tensor G4 gets FO-WLP which greatly helps in heat management.
FunFact: Pixel 6 series was the last pixel lineup wherein Google DID NOT downgrade the Tensor chip, not even the packaging method used. Pixel 6a's Tensor G1 is the same SoC used in the Pixel 6 Pro.
With the Pixel 7 series, 7a heats more because it uses iPOP while Pixel 7/Pro gets FO-PLP.
