Their obsession with the tensor AI chip is very strange

Can confirm my pixel 6a battery went to dogshit this week. Almost feels like it’s more the update than anything with the battery… but I guess I’ll be learning to switch battery and finally going back to lineageos

My 6a is over 3 years old and still strong. I had no Samsung battery that lasted under a year and a half.

I’ve had my Pixel 5 since around the time the 6 came out. The battery life isn’t great, but I can get by just fine. Maybe Samsung phone batteries are better, but before this I had a Samsung Galaxy. The battery on that was no better. I know this is anecdotal, but I don’t plan to switch when my 5 croaks.

I had the 5a I I only found out it was super defective after the screen died from a small drop, apparently it’s one of its common defects, aside from the motherboard failure. I replaced with a non iOS, Google or Samsung phone

Yeah they sent a communication to pixel 6a owners saying that they will force an update that will reduce battery usage. In case you did not know, Google is providing a 100$ check, or 150$ discount on their store for 6a owners.

Whoa that happened to the 6a as well? That whole thing with the 4a was a disaster.

Experiencing it right now… Still no battery update for my phone, but I am currently away on vacation and am dreading the moment it will become a fancy brick

Yup, got my 100$ yesterday -it is anti-lawsuit stuff but will cover the cost of fixing a new battery
