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

I expect even a budget phone to still work the same after 1 year.

GrapheneOS

Won't they push this update?

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

Never seen a 4a or a 6a sold for 1500 Bucks. Dunno where you live though..

That is correct! However they said "the pixel series" meaning the entire lineup of pixels.

I don't think the 'a' variants are ever close to that price.

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