I wonder if there is something subpar about whoever Google is getting the batteries from for the A series phones.

    1. It’s a budget variant,
    2. The Pixel series are midrange, not high-end or flagship

    This doesn’t seem like that big a deal, especially as it’s a software update. Easily fixable with a firmware update like GrapheneOS

      I have used cheaper budget and midrange phones. To date I have never experienced this issue ever.

      This is the 1st I have been hearing since the Pixel 4a. Let’s not justify google.

        Most already do. This is the 1st we have been hearing for a while. Consistently since the Pixel 4a

      Pixels of this generation can get up to $1500 USD. If that’s not flagship territory, I don’t know what is.

        Even if they were cheap, the implication is that its okay to screw a customer if they’re not rich?

        Never seen a 4a or a 6a sold for 1500 Bucks. Dunno where you live though…

          That is correct! However they said “the pixel series” meaning the entire lineup of pixels.
