Yet another Pixel 6A caught fire

Here is a 174-word summary of the news article: A Pixel 6A user has reported their device catching fire after applying Google's recent battery performance update. The user says they woke up to a "horrible smell and a loud noise" and found their phone on fire while charging next to them. The fire damaged the phone's screen and case, and also caused some surrounding damage. This is not the first report of Pixel 6A fires. Earlier this year, Google released a mandatory software update to reduce battery capacity and charging performance after 400 charge cycles, and began offering free battery replacements. However, this user had applied the update but did not replace the battery, as replacement options were not available in their country. The Australian consumer protection agency has also warned that Pixel 6A devices may have an overheating battery issue that could pose a fire and burn risk, with some incidents resulting in serious injuries. Google has not yet responded to a request for comment on this latest fire incident.
