Review on Unlocked Google Pixel 3 - 64GB Memory Cell Phone in Clearly White by Marco Roberson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Fatal battery failure on all pixel phones

I bought 3 pixel phones. 2 - Pixel 4XL and 1 Pixel 3. For me, my wife and my son. All three were unlocked brand new. I'm mentioning all three here because this issue affects all of these phones, not just the Pixel 4XL. The phone was less than a year old. Normally used, reliably protected. The previous owner of LG phones never had any problems. It's been less than a year and my Pixel 4XL is having charging issues. Sometimes registered as loading. Sometimes not. It's intermittent. More and more refuse to load. Then the loading process is completely terminated. I look at the back and the back is peeling off (poorly assembled) because the battery is swollen. Luckily I was still under warranty as it was less than a year old. Took it in for repairs and replaced the battery. A few months went by and my other Pixel 4XL (my wife) had the same issue. Don't charge, withdraw. The battery is swollen. It's still under warranty so I took it to the store and replaced the battery. A little over a year goes by (about 18 months) and my son's Pixel 3 is starting to have problems. His Pixel 3 is in good condition and is mostly at home as he is staying home due to COVID-19. Half the time the screen won't turn on. Now the screen is completely dead and I've noticed the back is peeling off as well. But his warranty has expired. I got rid of all my pixels and got the Galaxy Note Ultra 20. It's a good phone but I hate the fact that it's so big and not basic. Android and Galaxy have removed the visual voicemail icon from the Phone app. Prefer vanilla. I liked the Pixel interface and all. But since they all die in less than a year from battery failure, I will NEVER use this crappy Pixel product again.
