Some Pixel 7 Users Say Their Batteries Are Swelling - What Google Is Doing About It
Pixel 7 and 7 Pro owners report battery swelling causing safety risks and device damage, with at least 10 cases noted by early September, renewing concerns about Google's quality control.
- In 2025, many Pixel 7 and 7 Pro owners have experienced battery swelling that causes the device's display and rear casing to detach, raising concerns about user safety.
- This issue follows earlier battery problems in Pixel models, including multiple Pixel 6a fires over the last year, with swelling effects spreading from Pixel 7a units.
- Users describe symptoms like sudden battery drain, overheating, shutdowns, and device panels detaching even without heat exposure, while repair shops warn replacements may only have a '50/50 chance' of resolving the problem.
- Google has provided complimentary battery swaps and monetary or discount compensations for Pixel 7a swelling issues, but support for Pixel 7 and 7 Pro owners remains uneven without an official recall.
- Growing complaints suggest Google may need to expand repair programs to higher-end models, as swollen batteries pose significant risks of fire or explosion.
