It’ll sport a flat camera bump
That’s a weird way of saying it won’t have a camera bump.
The pictures make it look like there’s a slight one.
However, instead of having a flat camera bar like the rest of the Pixel 9 lineup, it’s going to be flush with the back of the phone.
It might just be more poor wording, but flush means no bump of any kind.
Oh, I agree that it’s funny. Either it’s poor wording or… Maybe they don’t know what they’re talking about 🤷♂️
In fairness, maybe they’re called Android Headlines for a reason 😆
Agreed. I wouldn’t call it flush, but it is 99% of the way there. A little bezel around the lens is probably helpful to limit getting a scratch that being totally flush anyway.
Should we call this trend the Iphonification?
which part do you mean?
I know all phones basically look the same nowadays, but those pics really did remind me of this classic
I see what you mean. I personally found the camera bump design they have on the Pixels pretty ugly tbh.
In general, whenever a phone has a huge camera bump, it seems to essentially require that you put a case on it. Otherwise it rocks all over the place when you try to lay it flat. Idk.
Still haven’t brought back the 3.5 mm headphone jack? And is that big battery replaceable (i.e. without anything stupid like ungluing it from the delicate touchscreen)?
Any coverage that omits these things is garbage IMO.
The black and white versions look OK, but the red and blue look really odd.
Been waiting for either 8a to drop in price or for 9a to come out. My old phone is 10 years old and barely hanging on, so hopefully grapheneOS adds support for 9a rather quickly.

Props to you. That’s some value you got. I got 5 out of my last one with Lineage and thought I was doing well.
Eh, I have a pixel 7 that I upgraded to from a Galaxy S10 in early 2024 and I dunno, it doesn’t feel that great. Hard to get hype for yet another phone model.
I kind of like the color selection. Looks sharp. Would prefer some more definition or rather distinction from the iPhone.
I hope people boycott Google and Apple phones this year. Hail Korean Phones.
Even though sadly google still underneath it all like a stalker. :(
