            Anjan, 26 Aug 2023Is there motherboard and heating issue in pixel 5 and 5a?It indeed does have heating issues - it's started overheating during non-intensive use after 6 months, and at 1.5 years, my phone bricked after motherboard failure. Not recommended.

              Had a Pixel 3, randomly died in under 2 years. Had a Pixel 5a (with insurance), died from a 2 foot drop onto a foam bath mat after 3 months. Had a replacement Pixel 5a (from insurance claim), black screen of death while charging overnight, lasted a little over a year. Never buying another Google phone again. Great camera, most fragile piece of $&*t I've ever owned.

                      Had this phone for a few weeks, lost the manual.
                      I have 3 notifications icons... that I just don't know.
                      I could find one online (DND), but not the two others !
                      It is a shame that Google does not post online a short clear manual as a clean PDF file.
                      The online manual, is frankly terrible : it a a toy for kids, with lots of sugar and no nutritional value.

                      BTW: It would be a great app to talk the current notifications on request.
                      Perhaps more but brevity is a good thing, thanks Shakespeare.

                            Good phone while it lasted. Unfortunately, it didn't last long. Yes, I know it's a cheaper phone but I would have expected it to last more than 14 months. My wife's phone was exactly the same but only 13 months. Both got the "Black Screen of Death" - shut down, never to be reset or powered up ever again. Disappointed would be an understatement. Neither phone was dropped, handled roughly etc. and, going by other users, this is a common occurrence. There is no way I would ever buy another Pixel no matter how good the specs.

After 1 week the service centre guy told me that the motherboard is too weak to restart and that the phone is of no use now. I can sell it to him for just 4k, he will use its battery and other parts for other ways.(he offered).

                              Is there any way I can retrieve my non backed up data from the device while it is not waking up? and is there a way I can sell it for better rates?

                                    I am thinking of buying USED Pixel 5 or Pixel 5a 5g. I have heard Pixel 5a has overheating and dead motherboard issues. Yet it is one year younger than the 5, larger battery. and longer update period. Pixel 5 is more handy with a 90 Hz display. What do you recommend? Is buying a Pixel 5a is risky??
                                    There is no official warranty from Google for my country. Does the motherboard issues too common for Pixel 5a 5G??

                                        If you're already having overheating issue, how could I own one here at hotter climate?
                                        I will likely consider other brand even though camera may not be as good.
