Comment on Another Google Pixel 6a catches fire after battery-nerfing update

I was thinking about going with a pixel for my next device so that I could use graphene because I’ve used pixels in the past and they were fine but with all these battery issues I’m having serious second thoughts.

They are doing free battery replacements. So at least they’re doing the right thing.

The battery of my Pixel 6 started to bloat and leak last week. I contacted support. After a bit of back and forth where they asked me to provide proof of purchase and pictures of the phone, they sent me a brand new Pixel 6 and told me to just recycle the old one.
I reported the issue on Tuesday, received the new phone on Friday. That’s not bad support for a 4 year old device that’s long out of warranty. I fully expected them to tell me to go F my self.

My Pixel 6 battery expanded last year and popped the screen off, and when I contacted support they immediately sent me a new phone and a box to return the old one
