Google has officially launched the Pixel 9a in India, priced at ₹49,999. While it may look like just another mid-range phone on the surface, it’s what’s inside that makes it truly special. The Pixel 9a packs a set of powerful AI features that are currently only available on Google’s own phones—giving users a smarter, more seamless smartphone experience.
Here’s a look at the exclusive AI features that make the Pixel 9a stand out:
1. Best Take – Perfect Group Photos, Every Time
Tired of someone blinking or looking away in group shots? The Best Take feature lets you combine the best expressions from multiple photos into one perfect picture. It automatically swaps faces so everyone looks their best—no retakes needed!
2. Audio Magic Eraser – Cleaner Videos with Less Noise
Shooting a video in a noisy place? This tool removes unwanted background noise like traffic, wind, or chatter—leaving you with clear, professional-sounding videos. It’s built right into Google Photos and is super easy to use.
3. Magic Eraser – Remove Unwanted Objects from Photos
Magic Eraser lets you instantly remove people or objects from your photos with just a few taps. No other phone offers this level of smart editing baked right into the default photo app.
4. Call Assist – Smarter Calling Experience
Pixel 9a turns regular calls into smart experiences with these AI-powered tools:
-
Hold For Me: Google Assistant stays on hold and notifies you when a person answers.
-
Direct My Call: Turns automated voice menus into easy-to-tap buttons.
-
Clear Calling: Reduces background noise during calls so you sound clearer.
These tools aren’t available on other Android phones like Samsung or OnePlus.
5. Live Translate – Real-Time Translation, Even Offline
Pixel’s Live Translate can translate text, chats, and even real-time conversations instantly—and it works without internet. It’s fast, accurate, and works across your whole phone, not just in certain apps.
6. Circle to Search – Search Anything, Instantly
See something on your screen you want to know more about? Just draw a circle around it, and Pixel will search it for you—no app-switching needed. This feature is exclusive to Pixel and select Samsung phones, but it works best on Pixel with full Google Search integration.
