Lilbits: More Pixel 9a details leaked, playing PS3 games on ARM PCs, and more

Google’s mid-range phones have earned a solid reputation as decent devices that offer many of the same features as the company’s flagships at lower price points. And the latest leaks suggest the Pixel 9a will be continue that tradition.

But with an expected starting price of $499 (which, to be fair, is the same as the list price for the Pixel 8a), I can’t help but wonder if this strategy makes sense for Google anymore. The company now offers 7 years of OS and security updates for its older phones, so why buy a Pixel 9a for $499 when you could have picked up a Pixel 8 for $449 on Black Friday and still get 6 major OS updates? Maybe Google should take a page out of Apple’s book moving forward and, instead of offering cheaper current-gen phones, just give older models a price cut after a year or two and keep selling them.

Here’s a roundup of recent tech news from around the web.
