Oh goodie. My 6a has had terrible battery life (and actually overheated about a month and a half ago while charging) yet my phone doesn't qualify for the replacement for whatever reason.

This is my 3rd google phone in a row with issues:

Nexus 6p - Had to have the battery replaced and then inexplicitly died, dead to the world Pixel 4a - Similar battery issues + a screen that physically fell out of the phone Pixel 6a - Battery woes BEFORE this update in the near future

I had a 5A inexplicably develop a crack in the screen literally before my eyes as I was holding it. I watched it propagate from left to right over about 6 seconds. If I hadn't seen it, I would never have believed it.

Not even worth arguing for a warranty at that point. Replaced the screen myself later.

  • The 5A had a serious motherboard defect that caused phones to become unusable. Google had a device replacement program that allowed owners to exchange dead 5As for newer models.
