The number seems to be increasing Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL users complain about the battery inside these phones. No, this issue has nothing to do with battery life as users are opting out of the 2915 mAh and 3430 mAh components respectively. The problem is with the swelling of these batteries; Since May, there have been numerous posts and photos about inflated batteries In the Google support forum and Reddit. The photos show that the swelling is so intense in some cases that it pushes and lifts the back panel of the phone.
Some users didn’t even notice that their batteries looked pregnant because someone was hiding the damage by case. Others just knew the problem existed because they were unable to charge wirelessly. A The Pixel 4XL user noticed that he was having trouble charging wirelessly and concluded that his pixel stand was being disrupted. Google changed this stand but to no avail. It wasn’t until the user realized that it belonged to his wife The Galaxy S10 charged the pixel stand without any problem and he came to the conclusion that the problem was with his phone.
The author of a Reddit post, DJCO 2000, arranged for a replacement. Pixel from 4 xl Verizon. But less than a year after the phone’s launch, Verizon was out of stock and sending it Instead the Samsung Galaxy S10 +. This led DJCO 2000 to wonder if the issue of the inflated battery was responsible for the initial shutdown of the Pixel 4 series. As he writes, “I doubt the swelling issue of this battery could be bigger than that. Google is currently admitting, and that’s why they accidentally shut it down … I’m wondering if my phone’s wireless charging problem could also be a symptom. Upon closer inspection, the upper edge of the black edge where the upper glass was found appears to be “shuffled” … it seems that the 2 corners are slightly raised but it is difficult to say. “

You can have more success if you turn to Google for device replacement instead of your carrier. It looks like Google is willing to send you an updated model, even if your damaged pixel unit is not guaranteed. However, the company is telling customers that change is only a one-time thing. In other words, if you have a similar problem with the replacement you received from Google a year or two ago today, don’t count on getting another replacement model from the company.
