Pixel 3 project cars 211/14/2023 ![]() Samsung has hardware issues over time the same as the rest, heck it was only 5 years ago their premium model had quality issues so bad they had 2 rounds of recalls and cancelled the model completely. Of course it's frustrating dealing with the limitations of the OS and man would I love to sideload some of the great applications they have on Android, but the reliability and support are just unparalleled, not to mention iOS just kind of gets a lot of basic things right which makes it a much more enjoyable experience without tinkering. That said, the iPhone 4s I owned and the iPhone Xs Max I currently own are the two best phones I've owned and it's really not close. Samsung's hardware (with uh, one Note-able exception) has been solid and while it didn't get the same updates and of course had all the nonsense that Samsung added on top of the base android experience, was much better than any other Android device I've owned. I've already sworn off getting another device from Google and this just reinforces this point. It kind of sucks to see that this is still an ongoing issue on their newer and (much) more expensive phones. It was a a couple weeks out of warranty but they were nice enough to send me another one (with a charge hold) that almost immediately became a brick as well with the same issue and that one they would not replace. I really loved my nexus 5 phone from Google until it got stuck in a bootloop and wouldn't charge. Just reaching a human at google who can help is like getting blood from a stone. Dell used to have an excellent service program, but those days have long passed. But good luck getting this sort of service out of Google or Dell or HP or something. I think it makes sense for this work to be free, because these were all design problems. (I think the only original part is the backplate). They have basically replaced the entire computer at this point. But, despite all these problems showing up outside the warranty period, the repair work was all done for free. This machine is the worst apple product I've ever owned. So it went back in for a motherboard replacement. And when I got the machine back from being serviced, it started crashing due to a RAM issue. The tech broke another key on the keyboard while they were fixing the first one, so they ended up replacing the whole keyboard & trackpad. They offered a free battery replacement while they fixed the keyboard (since battery life was dropping faster than it should). Since owning my 2016 macbook, the screen died due to the flex cable issue (while travelling - which was super annoying). For all the problems I've had with apple products, knowing I can call or visit apple to get the problems fixed is fantastic. Heavily considering a Linux phone easier to DIY repair. I'm looking for the next smartphone to be modular. I think it would be best to avoid Android OS updates as much as possible as well. I'm wary of purchasing the Pixel 3a, 4, or 5 since I don't want to be burned a 3rd time by specifically Google-designed phones. I suspect it's because they were co-designed/manufactured by LG.Īs time goes on, I use my phone less, not more, and I haven't dropped Pixel phones, unlike the Nexus ones. Nexus 5X: Infinite boot loop issue, contacted Google and replaced it using warranty Bluetooth connection with car always skips/stutters during Maps usage even though iPhones and other Android devices work fine. USB port works for charging, but when connected to a computer, port connects and disconnects in an infinite loop. ![]() ![]() Pixel 3: Past few months, volume buttons and power buttons gradually stopped working. Especially with the Pixel lineup, there is a historical quality control issue with Google's phones that I'm worried hasn't been solved yet. ![]()
