It has been a while since the Android 7.1.2 Nougat update has been out for developers to test the latest OS version by Google.

Google claims that the issue has now reportedly been fixed once users update to 7.1.2.

The Android 7.1.2 Nougat update comprises of a number of new tweaks for smartphones among which there is a patch update for device's incapability to calibrating the battery level in some Pixel devices. So, this abruptly leads to shut down of the smartphone.
