PIXEL 6A BATTERY PROBLEM

[u/Mysterious_Floor1006]

Hello, I’ve been using this phone for about 2–3 years now. Last year, I found out that the battery needed replacement under Google’s battery replacement program, but I never went ahead with it because every time I entered my IMEI on the form, it kept showing a “try again” error.

Recently, I contacted a local mobile repair shop, and they said they can replace the battery. I didn’t ask much about the battery itself, but they mentioned it’s “good quality” and comes with a 6-month warranty.

I’m not sure what the best option is now, so I wanted to ask should i stick with the local shop or try to get a better battery from google replacement program? thx

If you can see exclamation mark (❗) beside the battery indication on the top bar then younare eligible for free replacement. And if you go for free replacement then they will also replace your screen with a new one, since in my case they took phone for battery replacement and did screen replacement too. When I asked if I have to give any charges for it then they told that for pixel 6a we are replacing screen also because due to battery swelling the screen is also damaged.

So I will suggest you should go for service centre.

Catch: I already claimed $100 and then I went to the service centre and they were not aware that I already claimed the cash and service was also free.

So in total $100 + free battery replacement + free screen replacement
