Focus Keyword: Pixel 7A Battery Swelling
Google has officially announced an expanded repair program for the Pixel 7A, offering free repairs for devices affected by unexpected battery swelling, according to a report from 9to5Google. The program specifically covers symptoms directly linked to battery expansion, such as noticeable bulges in the phone’s body or the back panel detaching. Google also noted that unusually fast battery drain could be an early sign qualifying for the program.
The Pixel 7A, launched in 2023, has faced multiple complaints from users, especially on platforms like Reddit. Many users reported a significant drop in battery performance about a year after purchase, along with challenges accessing Google’s support for warranty-covered repairs.
According to Google, the free battery replacement service is available to individual users, provided there is no unrelated damage like screen cracks, liquid damage, or other physical issues not caused by battery swelling. Eligibility requires passing a verification process through the program’s official website. Once approved, users can either mail their devices for repair or visit an authorized service center.
In regions outside the United States and India where direct repair services aren’t available, Google is offering financial alternatives. Affected users may receive up to $200 USD for out-of-warranty devices or up to $300 USD toward the purchase of a new Pixel device. For devices still under warranty, compensation can reach up to $456 USD.
This isn’t Google’s first large-scale repair initiative. Last year, the company launched a repair program for the Pixel 8 due to pink lines and screen flickering issues. Google also extended the Pixel 4 XL’s warranty by one additional year to address power-related problems.
