The long-running Google Pixel 6a battery saga continues, and Google has now provided details of how owners of the 2022 handset can claim up to $150 (about £110 / AU$230) back from the company – money that could be put towards a new phone.

There's a mandatory Pixel 6a update headed out to deal with battery overheating, and Google's finally sharing what to expect.

Eligible users can get a free battery replacement or choose a compensation payout—Rs 8,500 in cash or store credit. The initiative includes a mandatory Android 16 update to further optimise battery efficiency.
