Google 's recently released Battery Performance Program for the Google Pixel 4a has started to cause some issues for users of the device.

A recent Pixel 4a software update meant to stabilize battery performance has left some people with depleted batteries. Google has offered free battery replacements or a one-time payment for those impacted by this issue.

The Google Pixel 4a is a fantastic device for those who want the most optimized Android experience but in a more manageable body. Many users have been happy with their devices, but those feelings have changed.

Google today has announced that several features introduced at Samsung Unpacked will also be heading to other Android phones soon. Some of these are specific to the Pixel 9 lineup, but most are coming to all recent Android phones. Here's a look at what's on the way.
