For a new Pixel 7a, would it be better to update to Android 14 first, then copy data over from an old phone after the update is done?

Or copy everything over from the old phone then update to Android 14?

Google today announced an Extended Repair Program for Pixel 7a phones that face battery swelling issues.

Google says “only some Pixel 7a devices are impacted by unexpected battery swelling.” Symptoms include:

  • Visible swelling of the device: The phone may appear thicker than usual, or the back cover might be bulging.
  • Phone cover bulging or separating from the device: This is noticeable by gaps or openings along the edges of the phone.
  • The phone’s battery is draining significantly faster than usual, even with minimal use, or fails to charge.
Not all Pixel 7a are impacted and owners can check eligibility here, while there will also be a physical inspection. They will “receive one battery replacement at no charge through our battery replacement program.”

This is available at walk-in repair centers in the following countries:

  • United States (Mail in repair option available)
  • India (Mail in repair option available)
  • Canada
  • United Kingdom
  • Germany
  • Japan
  • Singapore
Google is offering alternate “appeasement options” that depend on country and warranty condition:

Out of warranty appeasement options (not available in India and the United States where both mail-in and walk-in repairs are available):

  • $200 USD (converted to your local currency) payment.
  • $300 USD (converted to your local currency) Google hardware discount code applicable towards the purchase of another Pixel phone on the Google Store (as available).
Under warranty appeasement options (not available in India and the United States where both mail-in and walk-in repairs are available):

  • $456 USD (converted to your local currency) payment.
