The Pixel 9a’s abstract, artsy wallpapers just leaked in full resolution

Now, a few months later, another fresh batch just leaked in full resolution, courtesy of Android Authority. A lot of the features in this batch match the ones in the first. There are four wallpapers this time, too, with each of them offering two versions — light and dark — and all four of them coordinating with the phone’s rumored colors again.

A bunch of ambiguous and artsy images

Google went full abstract with this batch. On last year’s set, you could at least make out the flowers. This one is a lot more vague, but, honestly, looks way cooler, too. The leak includes full res versions of all eight images, ready to download, via this Google Drive link (courtesy of Kamila Wojciechowska / Android Authority). The images embedded in this piece may have been compressed during the upload, so it’s best to download straight from the Drive link.

Most of Google’s upcoming phone’s features have been leaked bit by bit over the past few months. It’s now thought to be launching somewhere around March, earlier than the original rumored timeline of May, and said to sport Android 15 and the Tensor G4 chip. It’ll allegedly feature a 6.3-inch screen, which long-time Pixel 8a users might find considerably bigger than the 6.1 inches they’re used to. A beefier 5,100 mAh battery should also bring some expected (and standard) battery life upgrades.

The company’s upcoming midranger phone is said to retail for the same as its predecessor, $500, which, in this economy, is impressive. Even though the 8a was a recent release (May 2024), it’s refreshing to see that Google didn’t factor in a standard inflation increase on the 9a.
