Whatever the case I know that I'm very concerned about getting a pixel until they demonstrate several models that don't swell or spontaneously combust into flames. I mean, if they had to kill the 4A, the 6A, which bursts into flames, and the 7A, that makes me highly concerned.

I can get rid of this fucking phone and get one not made by Google.

we are an American company so we will lie and steal and cheat. Get used to it

The fix is called Graphene OS.

Actually, there is something you can do about it.

But it doesn't involve Google.

Google says the Pixel 8a and newer Pixel phones can withstand 1,000 charging cycles before their batteries drop down to 80% effective capacity. However, this Battery Health Assistance feature essentially reduces the phone’s battery capacity over and above standard degradation.

...

It’s also disappointing as some rival smartphone makers address battery health concerns by offering more durable batteries. For example, Samsung’s top phones can withstand 2,000 charging cycles before dropping down to 80% effective capacity, while OnePlus and OPPO’s lithium-ion batteries offer 1,600 cycles before reaching 80% capacity. So there likely wouldn’t be a need for a Battery Health Assistance tool if Google’s batteries had similar longevity.

Sounds like they could just use better batteries but they're too cheap. It is Google after all, just a small company without much money to spend.

Companies that use child slavery and modern slavery in their batteries holding people hostage to their decisions on how your personal devices should operate...sounds about right.

When will companies pay reparations to the affected populations for enabling their obscene profit?

EDIT: And if phones are melting, Google replacing or fixing affected devices or providing refunds is appropriate, I feel.

I was planning on capping charge to 80%, which should address a lot of these issues without artificial slowing added later.

So, like Apple did, but worse?

People keep raving about Pixels. All I see are overheating processors and now this bullshit

LOL. Guys, who is stupid enough yo buy anything from Google?
