Yeah no...This reminds me of an XKCD comic - 10,000 new suckers born everyday. You have my empathy Author and I hope you find positive recourse.
Google's hardware ability and standards have largely remained unchanged since their first one, 150+ devices ago, the Nexus One. This is the same company that designed a phone with only 192MB user addressable storage space at a time when they had two years to soak in their design on the success of the iPhone and the App store.
Subpar is Google's middle name (and quickly becoming their first) spreading from hardware now into software all of which are loosing ground to rivals.
No one should put premium money into anything Google until it is fully disposable or you have total local support - it's just too risky.
Have you really been a member for 12 years and not posted until the Pixel 6's honour needed defending?Sounds like an ID-10-T code to me...
What your post tells "me" is that some people wouldn't notice anything wrong with their device unless there was fire and smoke coming from it.What that tells me is that either the complaints about the durability of Google's phones are from people who abuse the heck outta their electronics, or Google has a *wildly* uneven quality control procedure.
That's an unfair and an unreasonable generalization. QC is a major issue with the newer generation of Google phones. The price tag they now command aren't worth the hassle and risks.As someone who has owned a Pixel phone in every series since the 4XL, and have had my share of issues I agree the Pixel line has many flaws they need to fix to get up to par with it's competitors but it sounds like the author is very rough on their phones and maybe needs to be a little more gentle and caring with their devices.
