A mandatory update for Google\u2019s mid-range Pixel 6A phones is coming next week that is meant to reduce the risk of the battery overheating on some devices. According to a support page post<\/a>, Google is issuing the mandatory Android 16 update starting July 8 to all Pixel 6A devices. However, only users with \u201cImpacted Devices\u201d will see any effect on their battery.<\/p>\n

Announced earlier this month<\/a>, the update will reduce the battery capacity on affected phones after they reach 400 charging cycles, Google\u2019s Alex Moriconi told The Verge<\/em>. The move comes after at least two people reported their Pixel 6As catching fire<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Google says affected users will get a notification when the phone has completed 375 cycles, giving them a heads-up that the new battery management features will be activated soon. Once these management tools are in effect, the battery won\u2019t last as long between charges.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to Google, users may see other changes, \u201clike reduced charging performance or short-term changes to how the battery-level indicator on your phone shows your battery capacity as your phone learns its revised battery capacity.\u201d It\u2019s not clear why some Pixel 6A phones are affected and others aren\u2019t, but if yours is, Google is offering free battery replacement \u2014 you can check here<\/a> to see if you\u2019re eligible.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The company has already dealt with a similar issue on the Pixel 4A<\/a>, offering owners a free battery replacement or a $100 credit towards a new phone. It currently has an extended repair program<\/a> for battery swelling issues on the Pixel 7A.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
