That's just hilarious. One would expect Google as primarily software company would be on top of such things. Instead it's the software issues that plague Pixel phones forever. This is not something I want to hear when Pixel 6 is potentially interesting device to have...

                      Last more or less reliable phone from Google was Nexus 5 starting from Android 6.0
                      After that - all of them was a total crap with continuous hardware and software problems.
                      I even wonder, why first Xiaomi on custom ROMs was named as icon of software bugs, when real one was Google ))

                          This is why the pixel is only released to selected (read :1st world) markets. People there will suck it up and be patient with returns. I wonder how much the failure % is if they release it on a worldwide scale like samsung and apple.

                            The pixel 6 pro is coming, it's obvious right? speaking of another thing, I was one of those who suffered the sudden death of the LG g4 a month after buying it, it went out of nowhere and bye bye, that same day I never said more about an LG, and so it was to such a degree that LG already He died and never returned to that brand, I hope the same does not happen to my microwave and washing machine hahahaha

                              The Pixel 3 should never have been made so that's good I guess.

                                If there isn't any hardware issues, it is not a Pixel.

                                If there isn't any software issues, it is not an Xiaomi phones

                                Well let's see if Pixel 6 will have any of these issues

                                  "Some believe that one of the security updates caused this, while others say that a hardware malfunction is the root cause, similar to LG's bootlooping problem from back in the day."

                                  Huawei Nexus 6P says 'Hi' to you. I was about to buy one for my custom ROM activity until I read A LOT of bad complaints regarding the constant bootloop, so I ended up scrapping that wish list.

                                    This is why nobody wants a Pixel.
