Google’s new Pixel 4A update is going to lower battery life for some owners
At least it’s not ‘batterygate’ again.
Besides having less runtime, the update could mean “reduced charging performance” or change how the phone shows battery capacity. Apple said its software slowed down iPhones with aging batteries to prevent accidental shutdowns, but it didn’t inform customers about why their devices had reduced performance and ended up with hundreds of millions in court settlement payments. In this case, Google is also offering owners with affected 4A devices their choice of compensation: They can opt for a free battery swap, a $50 payday, or a $100 credit toward a new Pixel phone from its online store.
