Whatever the case I know that I'm very concerned about getting a pixel until they demonstrate several models that don't swell or spontaneously combust into flames. I mean, if they had to kill the 4A, the 6A, which bursts into flames, and the 7A, that makes me highly concerned.
If it's any consolation, my 4XL, 6 Pro and 8 Pro have all been fine.
I wonder if they're using worse quality batteries in the "A" series since it's a cheaper device. I haven't heard reports of the main devices exploding or bursting into flames. Just the "A" series.
I'm pretty sure the cost cutting is responsible.
Yeah my old 6a by the end of it had to be charged 2x a day. And it was less that 3 years old. My theory is they cheaped out on some component or the batteries themselves. The software just made it even worse for those of us who actually use the phone. But beats it exploding I guess.
Still haven't received my money.
i got a used 7a in 2023 that i threw graphene on. i love this phone and am set til 2028-2030, at least.
As long as it doesn't spontaneously burst into flames
meh. i'd argue that's wild hysteria because if these things seriously had that problem there'd be thousands of lawsuits, class actions, recalls, etc. strict product liability is strict for a reason and all that.
also the battery health feature isn't bad per se. it helps prolong battery life and most phones should use it in some form. i think it's wild on pixel9+ you're forced to use it though, although i also don't see dev tools / patches won't allow more knowledgeable users to turn it off
