to be honest you know what you buy when you purchase a google phone.
All pixel phone had severe issue.

I have the pixel 6 and my SO has the 6a. We have 0 problems so far, i have had mine for nearly 2 years the 6a for about 4 months. I mean yeah pixel 3 and 4 had huge problems at first but imo they have improved a lot as a smartphone company.

Yeah my sister and I both had Pixel 6s until I upgraded to the 7 Pro. I feel like the only problem I had was that in the early days, the 6 would get kind of hot on 5G. 0 problems with the 7 Pro.

Sadly i am in Greece where "Google" is not yet, meaning that since i have to buy the phone from ( let's say ) Germany (or France or any other European country ) i do not have 5G support so i cant relate to the problem.

I have 2 ( or sometimes 3 ) days of battery life since i really dont use my phone much except calls, messages and sometimes using it as a debugger for the projects i develop ( android debugging and testing ).

Overall im VERY happy with the phone, 100% recommended.

I don't think that's fair, the first Samsung Fold didn't do that well either, they had to withdraw it and redesign it before relaunching it.
