Good news for Google Pixel 4 XL owners: Google is extending the warranty period by one year.

This is not simply because Google is being generous, but rather due to the fact that many users have reported power issues, including excessive battery drain, since the phone's launch.

The Pixel 4 XL will be released in 2019, and the phone typically comes with only a one-year warranty from the manufacturer. Thus, those who purchased the phone close to launch only have a few months to claim free repairs from Google. Additionally, this extended warranty only concerns power supply issues and does not cover other problems with the Pixel 4 XL.

According to Google, problems must be related to the phone not turning on, charging using an adapter, wireless charging, excessive battery drain, or irregular restarts or shutdowns.

It should also be noted that the extended warranty campaign only applies to phones purchased in the U.S., Canada, Singapore, Japan, and Taiwan.

If you are eligible, you can apply for a free repair on Google's support page. However, you need to make sure that your phone is actually repairable and that there is no problem like a cracked screen that needs to be repaired first. If Google has to replace these parts or provide you with a new battery, you may have to pay for it.

Of course, if you are a Google Pixel 4 XL owner, you may be thinking about upgrading in the near future anyway - in that case, you may want to check the latest news about the rumored Google Pixel 6.
