Well, Google, if you want a few hundred of my hard earned Euro I do worry though. If I wanted something put together by the lowest bidder I'm sure I could find a different phone.

Yeesh and I was thinking of upgrading my Pixel 6 eventually, looks like I'll be waiting for the 9/10
Well yeah, there’s some stupid problem with Google phones literally every year. Stop buying pixels/nexus
No one wants a thinner phone. I want more fucking battery life.
So I have a Pixel 6a that's gathering dust because it would randomly lose connectivity to RCS or other data driven communication apps, despite having full LTE on. Then I'd get home on Wifi and see "missing" messages or calls flooding in.
It was tolerable until there was an emergency and someone couldn't reach me.
Other than that, the phone was great: snappy, great camera, and some other nifty features (AI related).
Now, I couldn't find anybody else having the exact same issue, so I thought it was just me. I was looking into updating to Pixel 7 or 8. Then I read about Pixel 7 having network connectivity issues (though not identical to mine) and then I read about Pixel 8 having this shit.
I guess, I'll have to go back to Samsung :( Too bad Sony phones are so damn expensive and not really widely available.
^(I miss the HTC era!)
So is this the confession of hardware defect?
Enough pressure on the OLED panel to not only indent the panel but the glass as well is definitely something to worry about. That much pressure could definitely cause issues in the future. If my phone had those bumps I would have sent gotten a replacement.
