I liked the phone itself for the most part, but there were a lot of issues with it. The USB-C port in it was cheap and broke from little use. Like literally just plugging it in for Android Auto. I used wireless charging the majority of the time. Never had I ever had a port inside a phone break before. Same issue also happened with the case on my pixel buds, and they would only wirelessly charge after a while.
Then it would only wirelessly charge half the time and stopped charging on the pixel stand at all. It only worked with a little puck charger and only if I got it exactly in the right spot.
Then the battery cable came apart internally and kept disconnecting from the battery, giving me a little ? on the battery symbol and refusing to charge at all. Google support admitted it was a known issue with the phone and should be covered by them but then turned around and said that they wouldn’t cover it at all since my warranty was expired. And like you, wanted more to repair it than it cost to just go buy another phone.
And all of this was within just over 1 year of owning it.
After the issues that I had already had with Samsung that pushed me to Google, I just decided to try out an iPhone after years of refusing.
My Pixel 4 is what pushed me over to Apple lol.
