Google is rolling out an update to Pixel 4A phones that addresses battery performance stability issues. However, the update may result in reduced battery life, slower charging speeds, and changes to the battery level indicator. Google acknowledges the issue and offers appeasement to affected users.
Google has announced that it is shipping an unexpected update to Pixel 4A phones this week. According to Ars Technica, the company emailed Pixel 4A owners to tell them the update will address battery performance stability but that their batteries may not last as long after it’s applied. Google repeats that in a new help page titled “Pixel 4a Battery Performance Program,” where it writes that it had noticed issues with “some” Pixel 4A phones.
> Not all Pixel 4a devices are impacted by the reduction in battery capacity and charging performance, therefore if your device is not impacted the battery will perform the same as before, and you will not be eligible for an appeasement. Besides having less runtime, the update could mean “reduced charging performance” or change how the phone shows battery capacity.
