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.
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…
