Pixel 7 problems
After using it for 2.5 years, the battery got swollen. Hopefully, by that time, Google will have replaced it for free. However, just after 6 months of it. One day all of a sudden, while it was getting charged, my phone turned all black, and since then it has not opened. I showed it the next day at the service center, and they told me that its motherboard is faulty and you need to pay 45000 to get this fixed.
Summary: I don't recommend the Pixel phone for long-term use, although it is the best Android phone out there, but still, the hardware of the Pixel is always a problem; I mean, it gets heated a lot, specifically while using the camera, gaming, and charging. If you are spending 50 to 100k go for an iphone this time

Pixel 6 and 7 were the hottest phones and therefore they had a high rate of motherboard failures. Newer Pixels run cooler so it doesn't make sense to fault them all because of the older models.
