My Pixel 6 Pro commited suicide this week (i.imgur.com)

Woke up on Monday and my Pixel 6 Pro wasnt quite fitting in the case while i was checking news while having coffee on the morning. Pushed it in and it didnt seem to fit right. Took the case off to find it had turned itself into a spicy pillow and was splitting along the side. Was 1 month inside warranty, messaged support who told me it was wear and tear initially. I made it quite clear i wasnt accepting that and there wasnt even any way that internal adhesive failing would be wear and tear, never mind battery expansion. They agreed to replace it with a refurb as a goodwill gesture, how very nice of them. I upgraded the same day to a S23 Ultra and have sold the refurb to a reseller.

Yeah this phone is one of the worst I've had in a while outside the camera.

Seriously considering switching back to an iPhone or a one plus phone.

I think 3 pixels all with varying degrees of issues is enough for me. I won't be giving Google any more chances for a few years.

Personally in that avoidance period w Samsung. Pixels were the best androids I’ve had, but each seemed to end up with some weird hardware glitch.

Apple and iOS has plenty of shortcomings, but it feels more consistent and reliable (though not as good as they once were)

Samsung is known for their spicy pillows. You see that mrwhosetheboss video where he shows all the Samsungs he’s ever had puffed up, despite the numerous other phones subject to the same conditions not doing that.

I loved my Pixel 6 Pro. Really. It was so much better than the One Plus 8 Pro I had before and which I am currently write this on.

...because the Pixel started to flicker greenish with full power when the display was low. Really nice to get your retina burned out in bed like that.

It took me a week to even get a repair ticket open with them as it was sending me to the wrong country page and then back to the main page when correcting that...even the support agent couldn't fix that initially.

Now we will wait and see if they repair it.
