Overview

• Google's Extended Repair Program for the Pixel 7a is now active, targeting battery swelling issues such as device bulging, cover separation, and rapid battery drain.
• Eligible users in the United States, India, Canada, the UK, Germany, Japan, and Singapore can register via an IMEI-linked portal for free battery replacement or compensation.
• Devices with unrelated physical or liquid damage are excluded from the program, and eligibility must be confirmed through Google's registration process.
• In regions without repair options, Google offers $200 in local currency for out-of-warranty devices, $300 toward a new Pixel, or $456 for in-warranty units.
• This follows Google's previous extended repair efforts for Pixel 8 screen issues and Pixel 4 XL power defects, reflecting a broader focus on consumer trust and device support.
