  • Google has stopped selling the refurbished Pixel 6a, previously available for $249.
  • The move follows multiple reports of Pixel 6a battery fires and overheating incidents.
  • A recent update aimed at reducing the risk hasn’t prevented further cases.

After a string of overheating incidents and a battery-limiting update, it looks like the Pixel 6a’s time on Google’s refurbished store is up. The company has quietly stopped selling the device, which had been the cheapest Pixel still available to buy with a warranty.

As spotted by 9to5Google, the Pixel 6a was still listed at $249 as of July 22 but has since vanished. The refurbished store still offers the Pixel 6, 6 Pro, and Pixel 7 series at their usual knock-down prices.
