Google has announced a battery replacement program for Pixel 7a devices with swollen batteries. The company has acknowledged that some Pixel 7a units are impacted by “unexpected” battery swelling, and if that’s the case with your phone, you can now claim a one-time free battery replacement from the company. Google is also offering other appeasement options for affected Pixel 7a users who are unable to take advantage of the battery replacement program due to a lack of availability in their country or other reasons.
