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.

OP, 10 May 2023UPDATE: A few weeks ago my 5a 5G randomly shut off and woul... moreMine Pixel 5a also shut down a couple of days back while it was on charging. 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??
