    What else were you expecting from a brand who literally jumped in the big 3 of the most stupid and contagious trends on smartphones :
    *Punch hole/notch.
    *No Jack.
    *Curved edges on flagships.
    All those three are already a big middle finger at customers.

      So?

        Was a matter of time, however even if you could fix it yourself getting parts for a Pixel phone is more difficult than for a Samsung or a iPhone.

        Anyhow that doesn't mean it is impossible, I find it bad that Google went this route.

            Judging by some of the awful 3rd party repair vids on YouTube, I'm happy to have more blocks on third party repair.
            Some of them are ham fisted

                Great ...only Google can repair pixel phones ...

                So, I can easily put google in the list of phones I don't want to use ...

                No more #TeamPixel this year I guess.. only #TeamProfit

                  Google is not the google they used to be. Stay away from apple and google as pos

                    This is why I deeply support Fairphone's right-to-repair initiative. Sure that most people complain about its rather steep price, but you don't pay the price solely for profit.

                      Google is no longer the Google I used to love. They're just another liberal elitist like Apple. I use their services because I need to.

                      I support Samsung now and I hated them for years. They have far better customer support. I'm not all-in on Motorola being they're owned by a Chinese company.

                          Anonymous, 13 Oct 2021Who the heck is gonna do that in the first place? HahahaMaybe no average person might do it but there are many tech savvy people out there who tinker with their device like how one person equipped IPhone x with USB C and not only this it will also make 3rd party repairs more difficult so unless you live where Google officially sells their phones you better you a rugges case to protect your device

                            these big tech companies are doing anything they want, this should be ILLEGAL!! but no administration will touch them because google can influence elections

                              They have delayed this so much that it should come with Snapdragon 898.

                                  This way only google repair service will be able to replace component.

                                      Well, that just means Google is required to swap the model fully, just like Apple. So instead of repair, the unit has to be replaced.

                                      This is of course on malfunctioning hardware, and not user misuse/abuse.
