Those who’re eligible can obtain a free restore for as much as a 12 months after their unique guarantee expires. As for who’s coated by this program, Google factors to “certain power-related issues.”

• The Pixel 4 XL restarts or shuts down randomly with none consumer motion
• Charging issues with the ability adapter
• Wireless charging points
• The battery on a Pixel 4 XL is draining “significantly faster than earlier in its use”

That’s a fairly vast unfold of potential methods to qualify for the restore program. But Google cautions that if there are different main issues together with your telephone (like a broken display screen) that “prevent” the complimentary restore, these must be mounted first — and for a price.
