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.
Pixels have been great phones for me. The Pixel 6 Pro was an absolute piece of shit and I haven’t been back since.
I think I had the first one. Battery life was absolutely garbage and wouldn’t last a day. Google was constantly trying to hoover up my data, even after I turned off location tracking if found it was still saving where I was moving. I turned off automatic updates until one day I decided to update my phone and it fucked it up to the point where it was functionally bricked. Also the UI makes me think that they are trying really hard to be an iPhone but with enhanced privacy violations.
Isnt the only purpose of buying a pixel to use it with GrapheneOS?
Calyx for me, but yeah thats why I buy pixels
