Google’s sudden and unexpected trade-in price increase is a good opportunity to swap your defective Pixel 6a for $524. A price you will not get for it anywhere else.

The good news? You're getting Android 16! The bad news: the update will reduce battery capacity once you hit 400 charges. But you could get some cash for your trouble.

There's a mandatory Pixel 6a update headed out to deal with battery overheating, and Google's finally sharing what to expect.
