What ever happened to “lemon laws”. Why don’t they apply to cell phone manufacturers?
I just came from the Verizon store, where they put in a request for my 3rd Pixel. First one had the mic issues, and rebooting on its own. The second one has camera issues, which appear to be related to the app. So now I await the arrival of phone #3. Maybe 3 is the charm?
I agree that these issues will be the down fall of Googles attempt to play with the big boys.
Can’t wait until my contract is up, so I can go back to real androids.

Don’t forget about the mic problem.

Close the gap? On what exactly? Google is a service company that licences android and chrome OS (mostly free, but integrators do pay for some code and services), whereas Apple is a product company. Volumes of android devices far surpasses iPhones. And Chromebooks are in the tens of millions, getting close to MacOS devices. And Apple search relies on Google’s service.

That is a shame I was waiting for the larger Pixel phone to start selling in the UK. I just told my son he could have my Moto X Play. I guess he will have to wait a bit longer now until I can find an alternative with a very decent camera. Disappointing!!
