The Google Pixel 4 XL smartphone showed a drawback: the back panel comes off

According to the available data, the glass begins to flake off from one corner. Since the adhesive breaks down and dries, users cannot stick the glass back to the body. Battery swelling is suspected. This was stated by one of the users of Reddit, who identified himself as the CEO of the uBreakFix store, which is an authorized Google partner for the repair of equipment. He also added that a battery malfunction could lead to a bloated battery. According to him, the battery connectors are not very reliable and may fail even with the normal use of the device.

” This is a serious issue affecting Pixel 4 XL smartphones, and I don’t understand why Google doesn’t support them properly, ” a Reddit user wrote.

It is not known exactly if the battery is swelling due to faulty contacts, but the fact that the rear panel may peel off has been confirmed by numerous shots from Pixel 4 XL owners.

It is also known that not all owners of the Pixel 4 XL manage to exchange a smartphone with a detachable back panel. Despite user requests, Google has not yet acknowledged the existence of a massive problem, so the peel-off panel does not guarantee a replacement smartphone. If battery swelling really leads to this, then the problem is serious enough, since it means its potential fire hazard.
