Pixel 7 users have more problems
Pixel owners got a new update this month and it didn’t go down well.
Once again, Pixel owners are facing battery drain issues after installing Google’s new update. The Pixel June update seems to be the culprit of the problem and those who installed the new version are filing complaints. The June update has a slew of improvements, but it’s also clearly hampered the performance of the Pixel phones.
The new Android 13 update is available for Pixel 6 and higher models, and people with these phones say they’ve experienced faster-than-normal battery drain, which is never a good thing.
People have shared their concerns on Reddit, where some even claim that they have to charge their phone twice a day since the new update came out this month. But it’s not just the battery issues that are worrying the Pixel owners, they also face connectivity issues especially with mobile data strength. Most people with Pixel 6 or 7 series phones seem to be having this problem and some of them have even noticed excessive heating which is not a good sign. There are some workarounds to these issues, which seem to have worked for a few of these affected users.
The message contains suggestions such as uninstalling the new update, restarting their phone to see if the software behaves better. However, the final fix must come from Google, which has not yet officially responded to these complaints, and we hope a software fix will be released in the coming days to fix all Pixel owners’ issues.
Pixel phones have traditionally been known for average battery life, but reliable software has masked its weaknesses, but updates like this don’t bode well for the company, as these premium phones are supposed to offer the best all-round experience.
