- According to the Reddate user, another Google Pixel 6A is set on fire.
- The user said his phone was set on fire despite installing Google’s mandatory refreshment to counter battery heating.
- This has also revealed that the dog’s eyes on the sight of the Australian consumer have also been revealed after issuing notice of heat above the Pixel 6A battery.
We reported several Google Pixel 6A battery fire earlier this year. This forced Google to issue a mandatory update of some units earlier this month to deal with the problem. It is understood that this update is to dramatically reduce the battery life and reduce the bid to reduce the battery heating problems. Unfortunately, someone has reported the Pixel 6A battery fire after installing an update.
The Reddater Foot Managrade reported that his Pixel 6A had set fire to Saturday (July 26) while sleeping.
I woke up with a terrible smell and a loud noise. The fire has already begun and I managed to throw a phone on the tile floor. The phone was less than 40 cm away from my head at my night stand. The sheets were trapped on the fire. My AC (one floor unit) had a SIC to the surface from the fire. All day in my throat I got hurt with the smoke that I breathed (the door of my room was closed due to AC so I basically breathed smoke for more time than I would try to prevent the spread of fire).
The Reddater said he was charging the Steam Deck with 45W charger on the phone. He also posted several photos that have been shown after the fire, which has been seen below. These images depict widely burned Pixel 6A, including a molten screen, partially molten case, and four internal.
In particular, the user said they had installed Google’s “battery performance program” update, which believed that the first place would reduce the risk of heat than the battery. Google also recommends free battery replacement for infected devices (mail or walking them), but the user said the walk was not available in their country.
It may be the fifth pixel to catch a fire in the last 12 months. However, the last four incidents occurred before the update of Google’s “battery performance program”.
This latest event suggests that the update does not go enough and that Google needs to perform the mandatory battery change or the memory of the device. It is also theoretically possible that the device’s battery has already passed through the return location. However, the user did not feel the battery swelling or other telt symptoms.
The Australian consumers’ watchdog has also revealed this after issuing a warning about Pixel 6A on July 25. The Australian user and the Competition Commission have warned that the phone’s battery may be high, but he added that users do not need to return their devices. Nevertheless, the warning came a day before the latest battery fire incident.
We have asked Google about this latest issue and will it have additional steps (such as, essentially memory/replacement). When the pixel maker responds to us, we will update the article. In any way, this problem is making it difficult to recommend a middle -range pixel phone.
