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. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">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.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><strong>Pixel 6a On Fire, Not Good<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">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.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">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. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/tech\/google-pixel-6a-users-warned-about-battery-heating-issue-what-the-company-said-9381993.html\">Google started reaching out to the affected owners and asking them to get the Pixel 6a battery<\/a> replaced free of cost. They have to visit the nearest Google service centre to avail this program.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">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.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">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.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">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. <\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"authorimg\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2023\/11\/aadeetya-3-2023-11-9de48efa65a9ed8ed13a8932cadb6d5a.jpg?impolicy=website&amp;width=0&amp;height=0\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/s-aadeetya-21044.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">S Aadeetya<\/a><\/p>\n<p>S Aadeetya, Special Correspondent at News18 Tech, accidentally got into journalism 10 years ago, and since then, has been part of established media houses covering the latest trends in technology and helping fr&#8230;<span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd aurpdebtn\">Read More<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>S Aadeetya, Special Correspondent at News18 Tech, accidentally got into journalism 10 years ago, and since then, has been part of established media houses covering the latest trends in technology and helping fr&#8230;<!-- --> <span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd aurpdebtn\">Read More<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-e71bd712c195739a jsx-3083398149 artcta\"><span data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">News18 Tech delivers the latest technology updates, including phone launches, gadget reviews, AI advancements, and more.
