Google has decided to recall the Pixel 4a model, which it launched in 2020, due to battery safety concerns. Contrary to expectations, the update released in January and aimed to increase battery performance seriously negatively affected the battery life of the devices.
Google Pixel 4a became a hot topic with its battery problem
Many users reported that their batteries were draining rapidly after the update, their devices could shut down in a few minutes, and the charging time was significantly reduced.
In a statement made by Google, it was stated that the problem was caused by the reduction of the maximum voltage level of the battery. After the update, the battery voltage was reduced from 4.45V to 3.95V, which caused a 56% decrease in battery capacity. This situation has caused great surprise in the industry.
Samsung's new processor Exynos 2600 may enter production soon. The processor is expected to make a difference in performance.
In addition to the significant decrease in battery performance, users complain that the charging speed of their phones has also decreased significantly. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has also issued a warning on the subject. The institution stated that overheating of the battery could pose a fire risk and emphasized that device owners should be careful.
Following all these developments, Google has acknowledged the issue and announced that it has launched a free battery replacement program for certain Pixel 4a models. Users can check whether their devices are included in the replacement program through the company’s official support channels.
