Google has finally decided when it will start selling the Pixel 9a

Google Pixel 9a was originally expected to go on sale this week. However, Google delayed the start of shipments, citing the need to verify a “component quality issue affecting a small number of Pixel 9a units.” Today, the company apparently announced the final launch dates for the Pixel 9a in different countries — it will happen gradually, from April 10 to 16.
