To be completely fair, I am extremely salty towards Google’s hardware division. I had a Pixel 3’s storage get corrupted and stopped booting about 7 months after purchase, and they refused to repair it or replace it (under warranty!) because I couldn’t prove I was the original owner. I was, but I couldn’t find the receipt. They eventually just stopped responding to me.
I tried again with the Pixel 6 recently and ran into so many weird OS glitches that my wife’s Samsung S20 didn’t have, and that resetting / updating didn’t fix that I eventually just sold it and washed my hands of ever buying Google hardware again.
I have a Pixel4A bought on launch and its holding up well. It lost about 10% maximum charge since then and with fast charging it got so hot that my screen protector fell off after 6 months. So I had to switch screen protector brand.
Piss poor. 7 years of OS support, but I can almost guarantee you the hardware will die within 2 years.
California just passed a law that should affect the Pixel, and would require Google to provide replacement parts for the phone for 7 years also
Something something exemption for “game consoles”.
Good thing the Pixel 8 is bad at gaming /j
My pixel 5 is still doing well and that’s 3 years old, only gave it up as it’s out of support
