I wonder if there is something subpar about whoever Google is getting the batteries from for the A series phones.

    1. It’s a budget variant,
    2. The Pixel series are midrange, not high-end or flagship

    This doesn’t seem like that big a deal, especially as it’s a software update. Easily fixable with a firmware update like GrapheneOS

      Pixels of this generation can get up to $1500 USD. If that’s not flagship territory, I don’t know what is.

        Even if they were cheap, the implication is that its okay to screw a customer if they’re not rich?
