Reddit User Flags Bugs, Crashes And Heating In Pixel Phones

A new Reddit post became the centre of attention after a user named Suspicious_Sandles shared a detailed complaint about their experience with Google Pixel phones.

The user wrote, "I really want to love these phones and officially chose the Pixel due to it having great cameras." They said they had used both the Pixel 7 Pro and Pixel 8 Pro, but found the software buggy and the hardware unreliable.

According to the post, the Pixel 7 Pro screen died without any crack on the front or back, even though it was kept in a case. The user also said their Pixel 8 Pro faced multiple issues over time, including a software update that broke Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity. 

They added that the phone crashes several times a week and also heats up regularly during normal use. The post created a huge ruckus online, with many readers reacting to the problems mentioned.

Comfortable_Gate_878 also shared a long complaint involving screen issues, modem failure, warranty disputes, and a replacement refurbished phone. However, not all reactions were negative. 

User RaruJ said the Pixel 10 Pro XL had been flawless, even though the Pixel 8 Pro had caused issues earlier.
