Overview
What this part is
The Google Pixel 9a holds its nano-SIM in a small tray on the side of the frame. Trays get lost when swapping SIM cards, or bend when pushed in at the wrong angle. A bent tray can stop the SIM being read or leave a gap in the frame.
This tray is shaped for the Pixel 9a slot and comes in several colours to match the frame. It is a simple swap: eject the old tray, place the SIM in the new one and push it home. The SIM slot and reader inside the phone are not part of this item.

How to check your model

The Pixel 9a has a 6.3-inch screen and two rear cameras that sit almost flush with the back. The Pixel 9 has a raised camera bar across the back.
Professional installation
How a technician fits this part
- Power the phone off.
- Push a SIM eject pin into the small hole beside the tray and pull the old tray out.
- Place your nano-SIM in the new tray with the cut corner matching the tray shape.
- Slide the tray straight into the Pixel 9a slot until it sits flush. Do not force it.
- Power on and check the phone reads the SIM and connects to the network.
Check that the part matches the device before fitting it or removing any adhesive backing. Once a part has been fitted, it cannot be returned for a change of mind. Faulty parts are always covered.

Frequently asked questions
Will this fit my Pixel 9a?
Yes, if Settings › About phone shows Pixel 9a. It fits models GXQ96, GTF7P, G3Y12.
Does it fit the Pixel 9?
No. The Pixel 9 has a raised camera bar across the back, and it uses a different part. This sim card tray is for the Pixel 9a only.

No. It is a brand new, OEM-quality sim card tray made to fit the Google Pixel 9a, and every part is tested before dispatch.
Should I fit it myself?
Yes, this is a simple part to fit yourself. Push the tray in straight and gently. If the phone still shows No SIM with a new tray, the SIM reader inside may need a professional repair.
