Google launched in early July an update for the Pixel 6A to protect users from the battery explosion, but the update did not succeed in stopping the explosions, according to the report published by the “Ars Technikia” technical website.
The Google update aims to reduce the battery load by reducing its life cycle and reducing the speed of charging in phones that have completed more than 400 charging rides since its operation for the first time, the report indicated.
But according to what was published on the “Reddit” platform, the update was not enough to prevent one of the users from the explosion completely, according to the image that I attached to its post as stated in the site report.
The report confirms that the phone was connected to a usual charger and prepared from “Google” for shipping at night, but the owner woke up to the smell of a fire to be surprised by the presence of smoke from the phone battery, which caused the phone to fall on the ground until the fire calmed down, and the owner states that he updated the phone to the last version recently.
It is noteworthy that this is not the first case of such fires in the “Pixel 6A” phones, so the company needed to launch this update after an extensive wave of complaints received from users.
Google also offered compensation for $ 150 in the form of a balance in the store or $ 100 directly, as well as a free battery replacement in its official stores for those affected by the phone batteries and current performance, according to what was stated in the website report.
It appears that “Google” has a long history with battery problems in the “Pixel” economic phones, as the “Pixel 4A” phone suffered similar problems that prompted “Google” to launch an update to address its problems and caused a lot of phone batteries a lot.
The owner of the phone says that the “Google” store near it does not have the “Pixel 6A” phone batteries and send the phone to repair it takes time and cost, and the compensation provided by the company does not cover the price of a new phone.
Portable phone batteries explosions are one of the most risks related to this technology, which prevents companies from offering new batteries with superpowers, according to the report.
