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.
I hate those condescending “goodwill gestures”
I guess that’s what I get for hitting submit without reading what I wrote. Thanks.
Edit: it happened twice more while I was trying to fix it.
That’s one spicy pillow!
Let’s be honest, the Google Nexus was their peak and it’s been downhill since then.
The Nexus 5 was their peak.
The Nexus 6 created the term “phablet”, and then they had the 5X which was a great disappointment, and the updated phablet, the 6P.
Pretty much everything leading up to the 5 was better than what came before it, each release felt like movement in the right direction. Then we got the 5, and it was golden.
Then the 6 came out and everyone was confused, and the 5X/6P just made things worse…
Googles warranties are the worst. I bought a pixel 7a, and within 5 weeks it died. They would not fix it or return it because it was outside the 30 days, but they did have a year manufacturer warranty. However, when an authorized repair shop I took it in noticed a small little scratch where the case snapped on, they wouldn’t honor it. Don’t ever get a warranty from Google for anything, they’re awful.
My Google Pixel 5 broke less than thirty days after the warranty expired. The screen just turned off, there was nothing else wrong with the phone. No scratches, no water exposure, nothing. Google has turned into a crooked business
full of shit. you can take it to a repair place partnered with Google and they’ll give you a new screen straight up. It was free, in and out.
Yeah, for a couple hundred bucks. There’s no reason for you to be so rude.
Must be. This shit doesn’t fly in the EU with the 2 years of obligated warranty.
You also pay way more, plus your insane tax rate. As of this morning on the Goog store the Pixel 7Pro is $649.00 in the US, it’s £849.00 on the UK site which is equivalent to $1049.00 USD. Thats a deal???
I’m all for good warranties, but seriously, why dont yous guys realize the way business works? The companies never lose anything, the consumer pays for all those “free” benefits you think you’re getting. You’re 100% paying for them! Just like that “free” healthcare. Wake up man.
my phone screen broke on my pixel 6 after 5 months (to water damage of all things) and Google payed for it at the phone repair place i went to lol, with no questions. this is complete bullshit. make sure to research before blindly accepting random comments. (even this one, just do your research!)
I just call out bullshit when I see it, but please continue to cry shill about it.
My brother brought 3 of these for his family & they have had nothing but issues with them. If they aren’t overheating, they are rebooting for no apparent reason.
Bought the budget version, pixel 6a. I have nothing but good experience with it. It is the best phone I’ve had, never again spending money on flag ship phones. This shit cost me about $250, and it feels, looks good and faster than my previous bloatware s10 - which cost me $1100 brand new, the battery and the camera was shit, had it for 3 years, couldn’t stand having it another year.
In a couple of years I’ll by a new low budget phone. You don’t need a flag ship phone trust me, if it’s not for the camera, but then I’d buy an iPhone.
The a series phones honestly have the best reputation. Pretty sure the Pixel 4 had issues which the 4a series didn’t and the Pixel 5 was actually just a 4a 5G with top specs and flagship features
It’s very flawed. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not advocating for Google. Fuck em. But yeah considering I had OnePlus previously. It rebooted in sunlight. My pixel doesn’t.
