US District Judge Beth Labson Freeman advised Google and fellow defendant, Huawei, last Thursday that a putative class action brought over alleged battery-draining defects with its Google Nexus 6P smartphone is “not going to go away,” but indicated she would require the consumers to submit an amended, “cleaned-up” complaint with additional factual allegations.
The lawsuit in question was filed in early 2017, after a significant proportion of owners reported a problem where the smartphone would shut itself off at random, sometimes with a full battery, with others experiencing boot-looping issues that rendered the device completely useless.
