Over the past month, Google has been rolling out a battery reduction update for the Pixel 6a in the interest of user safety, and now the company has also stopped selling refurbished Pixel 6a devices.<\/p>\n
An issue with the batteries inside of some Pixel 6a devices has, as of late, been leading to some devices overheating and catching fire. As a precautionary measure, Google recently rolled out<\/a> a mandatory software update that, for affected devices, cuts the battery capacity and charging speeds. Pixel 6a owners have been feeling the effects of this<\/a> and, as incidents have continued to pop up, most should be looking to either replace their battery or their device as soon as possible.<\/p>\n Seemingly as a result of this situation, Google has now opted to stop selling the Pixel 6a through its refurbished store.<\/p>\n The Google Store houses a handful of discounted, refurbished Pixel phones including the Pixel 6 series and Pixel 7 series. These devices are available for hundreds of dollars off of their original retail pricing, and the Pixel 6a was included until very recently.<\/p>\n \tAdvertisement – scroll for more content<\/p>\n We spotted that Google has dropped the refurbished Pixel 6a entirely from its store<\/a>. The device was previously priced at $249 and was the most affordable way to get a Pixel phone with a warranty directly from Google. While we\u2019re not sure exactly when this change was made, the refurbished Pixel 6a was still listed as recently as July 22<\/a>.<\/p>\n Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 7a, Pixel 7, and Pixel 7 Pro all remain for sale at unchanged prices.<\/p>\n This is only the second update Google has made to its refurbished Pixel lineup since introducing it in late 2024<\/a>, but we\u2019ll presumably see Pixel 8 devices joining the list as the Pixel 10 series approaches.<\/p>\n More on Pixel:<\/p>\n Follow Ben:<\/strong>\u00a0Twitter\/X<\/a>,\u00a0Threads<\/a>, Bluesky<\/a>, and\u00a0Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links.
