Pixel 4a battery update was due to overheating risk
Source
The Australian Competition & Consumer Commissionβs Product Safety regulator shared a βProject Safety Recallβ notice on March 7 for Google Pixel 4a which noted that the βfirmware update provides new battery management features to mitigate the risk of overheating.β In general, an βoverheating battery could pose a risk of fire and/or burns to a user.β
Google dual sourced battery for the Pixel 4a for cost cutting. The ATL battery models 4a are unaffected and going well as usual. However, with the Lishen battery model, there was a risk for overheating and thus Google pushed an update which reduced the battery capacity of the device and impacted the charging performance as well.
In return, Google offered compensation in terms of battery replacement or 50$ payment or 100$ discount code on the purchase of a new pixel device.

Xiaomi Unveils New Logo of Redmi in China Since Xiaomi cannot copy Apple's logo unlike their UI and their creativity resides inside the dustbin, thus they ended up making all the letters in uppercase now while making a new logo. Money spent by Xiaomi in developingβ¦

In November, Xiaomi introduced a rebranded REDMI logo, upgrading the lowercase βRedmiβ to the all-cap βREDMI.β The rebranding initially debuted with the Redmi K80 series and now is spreading to older Redmi phones through a system update. Users who boot up their phones will notice the old Redmi boot logo being substituted with new βREDMIβ logo.

Google Pixel 10 Series Designs based on CAD

Google Pixel 10 series will look the same as the Pixel 9 series and will have almost same dimensions (152.8 x 72 x 8.6mm), same bezels and same display size as well. Interestingly, regular Pixel 10 (frankel) will sport triple rear camera this time, which means it will get a telephoto lens upgrade.
Google Pixel 10 Display:
β’ 6.3" (1080x2424 px) OLED
β’ 60-120hz refresh rate, HDR10+
β’ 2000 nits (HBM), 3000 nits (peak) brightness
Pixel 10 Pro (blazer) will also have the same 6.3" display, meaning cases for either phone will fit both but it will be a bit brighter (2250nits HBM; 3300nits PEAK).
