Hi there, We appreciate your feedback and are sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Pixel 8a.For help with keeping your Pixel phone from feeling too warm or hot, please visit: http://goo.gle/3qK62VS
If you are still experiencing these issues, we recommend contacting our customer support team for assistance. (From your phone click on Settings > Tips & support > Contact us)
- Compared to Pixel 7a phone.
- May not work on all images.
- May not work on all image elements.
- May not work on all audio elements.
- Features may differ depending on subscription and results may vary. Google Workspace extension must be enabled. Availability varies by country. See g.co/gemini/appavailability for details. Check responses for accuracy.
- Gemini mobile app available on select devices, languages, and countries. Internet connection required. Check responses for accuracy.
- Common Criteria certification for hardware and cryptographic library. See g.co/pixel/certifications for details.
- Designed to comply with dust and water protection rating IP67 under IEC standard 60529 when each device leaves the factory but the device is not water or dust proof. The accessories are not water or dust resistant. Water resistance and dust resistance are not permanent conditions and will diminish or be lost over time due to normal wear and tear, device repair, disassembly or damage. Phone is not drop proof and dropping your device may result in loss of water/dust resistance. Liquid damage voids the warranty. See g.co/pixel/water for details.
- For "over 24 hours": Estimated battery life based on testing using a median Pixel user battery usage profile across a mix of talk, data, standby, and use of other features. Average battery life during testing was at least 31 hours. For "Up to 72 hours": Estimated battery life based on testing using a median Pixel user battery usage profile across a mix of talk, data, standby, and use of limited other features that are default in Extreme Battery Saver mode (which disables various features including 5G connectivity). For both claims: Battery testing conducted on a major US carrier network in California in late 2023 on pre-production hardware and software using default settings, except that, for the "up to 72 hours" claim only, Extreme Battery Saver mode was enabled. Tests begin with phones fully charged. Battery life depends upon many factors and usage of certain features will decrease battery life. Actual battery life may be lower.
- See g.co/pixel/updates for details on when your Pixel is eligible to receive Feature Drops. Availability of some Feature Drops may vary.
