Google’s recent automatic update to Android 13 for the Pixel 4a intentionally reduces battery runtime and charging performance to improve device stability, causing confusion among users.
While all Pixel 4a devices will receive the update, only certain devices will experience a drop in battery life, leaving users uncertain about their specific situations and options.
Pixel 4a owners impacted by the battery life reduction can opt for a free battery replacement, receive $50 compensation, or get a $100 credit for a new device.
The update’s battery life reduction may stem from aging hardware in the Pixel 4a, released in 2020, as the software is designed to prevent possible unexpected shutdowns.
