Google has introduced a new program to address battery issues in the Pixel 7a, offering free repairs and compensation options. If you own a Pixel 7a and are facing battery swelling or rapid drain, you might qualify for a free replacement or a discount for your next purchase. Here is everything you should know.

What Issues Are Covered?

Many Pixel 7a users have reported problems such as battery swelling, thicker devices, bulging back covers, visible gaps, or fast-draining batteries. If your phone shows any of these signs, it could be eligible for a free battery replacement from Google.

How to Check Eligibility

Google has set specific conditions for offering free repairs. Even if your device displays symptoms, it must pass an inspection by a repair professional. To start, users should visit Googles eligibility page and follow the guided steps to see if their Pixel 7a qualifies for the program.

Repair Options in the US and India

In the United States and India, Pixel 7a owners have two choices. You can either mail your device directly to Google or visit an authorised walk-in repair center for the inspection and repair process. These options aim to make the repair process as convenient as possible.

Alternatives for Other Countries

For users living outside the US and India, where mail-in options are unavailable, Google offers alternative solutions. Eligible users can choose between monetary compensation of $200 converted into their local currency or a $300 discount code for their next Pixel device purchase through the Google Store.

Out-of-Warranty Devices Also Covered

An important highlight is that even out-of-warranty Pixel 7a units are included in the program. So, users experiencing battery issues will not be left out if their warranty has already expired.

Conclusion

Google’s new battery replacement and compensation program offers much-needed relief to Pixel 7a users facing battery issues. Whether through free repairs or generous discounts, Google is ensuring that users get a reliable and smooth experience with their devices.
