I was thinking about going with a pixel for my next device so that I could use graphene because I've used pixels in the past and they were fine but with all these battery issues I'm having serious second thoughts.

They are doing free battery replacements. So at least they're doing the right thing.

The battery of my Pixel 6 started to bloat and leak last week. I contacted support. After a bit of back and forth where they asked me to provide proof of purchase and pictures of the phone, they sent me a brand new Pixel 6 and told me to just recycle the old one.

I reported the issue on Tuesday, received the new phone on Friday. That's not bad support for a 4 year old device that's long out of warranty. I fully expected them to tell me to go F my self.

Maybe they should do a recall.

Oh shit I didn't hear about the 6a also being fucked.

I lost my 4a to their shenanigans, couldn't get it repaired and have now a Xcover 6 pro which I bought refurbished. Best modern phone: swappable battery, headphone jack, long software support, micro sd

I still have an old Pixel 7 Pro lying around, which I had recently used to setup a second SIM. Every time I turned it on it immediately overheated for no fucking reason. Wasn't even connected to a charger.

Damn. Never knew batteries catch on fire when angry.
