It was a disappointing year for Google with regard to Pixel smartphones and battery problems. The company has already recognized battery problems with the 6A Pixel, with Some units take fire and the Pixel 7A, where a repair program has been launched due to swelling problems. Now, Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro users also signal battery swelling problems.
As spotted by PiunikawebPixel 7 and Pixel 7 PRO users reports in the face of inflated batteries have increased considerably in recent months. Users have brought Google to Google from Google support forumas well as platforms like X / Twitter And RedditTo share their problems.
The problem is not entirely new either. In May 2025, a Pixel 7 Pro owner poster On Google’s forums, the side panel of their device had “started to separate” due to a swollen battery. This post drew significant attention, with many other users who rang to confirm that they also saw similar problems with their Pixel 7 Pro units.
More Google Pixel phones swell
Until now, the majority of reports seem to be linked to Pixel 7 Pro, although some Pixel 7 users have also encountered the problem.
So far, Google’s response seems incoherent. A few Users claim They received free battery repairs or complete replacement units, and one even said that Google had reimbursed them for a third -party repair. On the other hand, several customers report Strugging to get a significant response from the Google assistance team.
Unfortunately, this is not the first time that pixel phones have been taken in such controversies. Google is already running a free battery replacement program for Pixel 7A devices, but it now seems that the problem has extended to other models of Pixel 7 series. Fortunately, there was no report on the Pixel 7 or the Pixel 7 Pro for causing fire.
For the moment, Google has not provided an official declaration concerning these last cases. We contacted Google, but we have not yet received an answer.
If you are experiencing a battery inflated on your pixel 7 or Pixel 7 Pro, we strongly advise to contact the Google support as soon as possible. For those who are not yet affected, it may still be wise to closely monitor your device in case the problem will develop over time.
