Although these days we have focused our attention on the many iOS 16 bugs that appear on the iPhone 14, this is not the only smartphone that is ending the patience of users. Without going any further, the Google Pixel 6a is the latest device from the Internet giant to join the list of problem phones just a few days after its official launch.
If you are a fan of the brand, perhaps the appearance of these problems should not be a surprise to anyone. After all, the Pixels are one of the phones that usually have the most bugs or failures after their arrival in stores. The brand’s phones are notorious for having a lot of issues , and Google isn’t exactly famous for having reasonable quality control.
The latest issue plaguing the Google Pixel 6a is related to the fingerprint sensor . The YouTube Beebom , showed that it was extremely easy to unlock the device with different fingers, something that other users and professionals soon realized when they saw that they could unlock the Pixel 6A, using both fingerprints, even though only one was registered. .
These problems are worrying, since we are giving access to almost anyone to consult the content of our phone by not being able to protect it correctly through our biometric passwords . But they are not the only failures that phone users have had to face.
Battery issues and overheating
Despite the fact that the smartphone has already received the occasional update, none of the patches failed to calm the anger of some users who, beyond the Google Pixel 6a problem with fingerprints, complain that the mobile phone gets too hot and The battery lasts less and less .

The Pixel 6 series phones are not the ones that offer the best autonomy on the market, there is no doubt about that. The point is that the Google Pixel 6a has a cell of more than 4,400 mAh, that is, it is large enough so that we do not have to go running in the middle of the afternoon to find a charger. Despite being up to date, Google customers complain that the battery plummets day after day, so it seems that we are facing a software problem that could already have a solution.

The origin may be in a bug that already affected the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro , that is, the older brothers of the brand’s mid-range phone. These, as is now the case with the Pixel 6a, suffer from a bug that causes phones to overheat randomly without the user apparently doing anything to cause this excess heat. Of course, high temperatures do not suit batteries and this means, as a consequence, that the autonomy of the device is less.
Google is now releasing a software update that includes a fix for the battery draining issue caused, according to the company, by ‘ certain activities carried out by the Pixel Launcher in the background’ . However, it remains to be seen if it is the definitive solution to all the bugs that hinder the user experience with the smartphone.
