Why does my pixel 7's screen randomly turn green every so often? I checked settings and all of the colour options in display/accessibility are fine (aussie.zone)

Coming from a Pixel 5, the 6 was a letdown for me. I didn't like how the size increased, and I despise the under screen fingerprint sensor, it's very finicky; even if you're using a compatible screen protector. To me it's a major downgrade compared to the rear mounted fingerprint sensor on the previous pixels (sans 4).

I do like how I was able to get 256gb for it as I do need more storage, but I wish it had the option for 512gb.

It also sometimes gets really warm. And within the past year it's had a couple of situations where I thought it died on me (screen unresponsive, doesn't wake to power button, etc.), but it turned out to just be the phone having conniptions. Most recently I think debris has worked its way into the power button, as sometimes the phone becomes erratic, where it shuts the screen on/off sporadically.

Also, the modem fucking sucks on this thing, I have an unbridled hatred for it. My brother got a Pixel 7 and we share the same carrier and he reports he has no issues with his, so I'm guessing they've improved the modem on the 7 over the 6.

The Pixel 5 is still in my opinion the best Pixel Google ever made, it was honestly the perfect size and had the better fingerprint sensor. If they were to make the pixel 5 again but give it a newer processor and more storage, it would be a no brainer for me.
