Pixel 6a catching fire has been a regular event which will be a concern for Google ahead of the Pixel 10 launch next month.
Google is now faced with concerns around Pixel 6a overheating
Google’s Pixel 6a issues continue and another case of the Pixel phone catching fire has made the headlines this week. The worrying part of the incidents is that Google has been aware of the problems facing the Pixel 6a battery and has even issued a free replacement of the units affected. But the latest news about a Pixel 6a catching fire while charging do send the alarm bells ringing once again at the search giant.
The new Pixel 6a fire issue has been reported by a user from India, who shared the gruesome details about the device getting burned and how it happened.
Pixel 6a On Fire, Not Good
The user posted the images of the charred Pixel 6a lying on the bed, and shared them on X along with the charging cable that has burned and some damages to the bed as well where it was kept. The user says the phone was charged using the original adapter and cable, and he had kept the device for charging overnight near his bed side.
Pixel 6a users have been warned by Google about a major issue with the battery that can be only fixed by reducing its charging hold and capacity. Google started reaching out to the affected owners and asking them to get the Pixel 6a battery replaced free of cost. They have to visit the nearest Google service centre to avail this program.
Google mentioned the update is mandatory for Pixel 6a users that reduces the battery capacity as well as the charging speed to prevent heating issues. Google faced similar issues with the Pixel 4a model earlier, for which the company has offered free battery replacement as well.
The company has seen most of these fire incidents caused by Pixel 4a or Pixel 6a models and their batteries seem to be the culprit. However, Google seems to have fixed these recurring issues with the other Pixel phones launched since then, but the company should look to avoid similar incidents for its premium lineup, especially when the fire events happen so regularly.
More importantly, the Google Pixel 10 series is launching in the next few weeks, and the last thing Google needs is an outburst around the Pixel 6a battery issues.
