  • Has anyone managed to successfully prolong the life of one of their Pixel devices by getting the battery changed? If so, do you have a provider to recommend to do it? (Pixel 6A)

  • I've just done this with my pixel 4a at iSmash. It's the second time I've used them for a battery replacement - first was with a pixel 2 that I gave to my brother and he's still using. I figured I'd try and run the 4a for as long as i can and given that battery life was the only issue it seemed worth trying for the sake of 35 quid *

    Customer service was v good. The guy in store took a good look at my phone and warned me that there was a possibility of the screen cracking due to some minor hairline cracks - they have to suction cup the screen off to get to the battery. They won't accept liability if this happens but I thought it worth risking for the price. Fyi if this happens a screen replacement is possible but at £100 probably not worth it imo.

    Battery life is noticeably better and definitely worth it imo. I might see if switching to lineage os brings any further improvements.

    • If you book the appointments online but don't complete you will be emailed discount codes which knocked 10% off the headline battery replacement price of £40.
