Z(achary) YaroAs though I needed more reasons to be done with #GooglePixel devices: My partner's #Pixel5a is broken for the 2nd time due to a known motherboard issue Google covers under an extended warranty. Instead of immediately repairing, replacing, or refunding the defective device, Pixel support said they will need 2 weeks, will only replace it with a Pixel 6a (did they ever solve the radio issues with the 6th gen. Pixel devices?), and don't even have the decency to throw in a headphone adapter. (1/2)
After all the hours on the phone, it sounds as though partner's best hope is sell the replacement device for enough money to offset the cost of a (non-Pixel) replacement phone because Google's warranty won't actually get them a device with the feature set they paid for. (2/2)
DemonHusky@ZMYaro I had what I assume was the same problem. it took ~2 weeks to get a replacement "5a" that was really a 7 Pro. Didn't know what I was going to get until I opened the box
@DemonHusky A 7 Pro is at least a more substantial upgrade I guess, but still messed up to force a loss of features and roll of the dice like that on a device you paid for 😕
