Google is set to roll out a mandatory software update on July 8, 2025, for its Pixel 6a smartphones to address battery overheating issues that have reportedly led to some devices catching fire. The update will reduce the battery capacity and charging speed of affected Pixel 6a units to enhance safety and prevent further incidents. This measure follows multiple reports of battery overheating and automatic shutdown warnings among users. Concurrently, Google has released Android 16, which includes new features such as live notification updates, improved multitasking for tablets, enhanced call clarity, and advanced security protections. Notably, Android 16 introduces a security feature that alerts users if their device connects to fake mobile networks, commonly known as "stingray" devices, used for spying. Looking ahead, Google has officially announced its next hardware event for August 20, 2025, in New York City, where it will unveil the Pixel 10 series, including the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro Fold, and Pixel Watch 4. The new Pixel 10 lineup will feature the Tensor G5 chip manufactured by TSMC, with design teasers revealing a familiar look with triple rear cameras and new color options such as Moonstone and Jade. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is expected to have IP68 certification and a more durable design. The event is anticipated to emphasize AI capabilities integrated across the new devices.
