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.

    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.

      Yeah the 6a seems to be the darling of the last few releases. Mine is pretty much perfect. No wireless charging is mildly annoying, but in the end, meh. It’s the right size, lasts long enough, and doesn’t give me problems

      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
