The Pixel 9a is now expected to start shipping in April instead of March, and even preorders have yet to open on the Google Store.

Google is recalling its Pixel 4a smartphone in Australia after an update that it pushed out in January significantly degraded the battery rendering it useless.

Like many phone makers, Google typically opens up pre-orders for its new phones on the same day they're announced. However, that won't be the case for the Pixel 9a. Instead, the phone will go on sale in April, according to Android Central. Google told AC that a "component quality issue" affects some Pixel 9a units.
