Google will gradually reduce Pixel 9a battery capacity on purpose as it ages

Google's upcoming Pixel 9a might be skimping on some AI firepower under the hood compared to other Pixel 9 models, but it looks like the mid-range smartphone will include some exclusive software features out of the box. According to a newly published support document, the Pixel 9a will ship with a new battery health feature that will reduce the battery capacity over time — on purpose.
