[SOLVED] New Pixel 4a - Charge first or use immediately?

[rcald2000]

Should I charge my new Pixel 4a? And if so, how long do I charge it initially before turning it on for the first time? I don't want to improperly train the battery. Thank you.

Most manufacturers suggest fully charging before using.

Done, just plugged it at 4:56 pm EST. Charge started at 73% and the phone remains off.

update: By the time that I remembered to check my timer, the phone was already at 100% battery capacity. That was at the 40 minute mark, so it was obviously less time than that.
