I’ve had the Google pixel 6 for almost 2 years. Lately it seems like it just breaks everything. It has issues with multiple apps, it doesn’t want to connect to WiFi, the list goes on. Everything I Google, it’s like yep, me too, known issue. Is this a bad phone? What should I upgrade to?

I bought mine when it fiest came out and I’m not really having any major issues. I find the screen rotation will occasionally act flaky and I had to reboot a couple of times because the keyboard wouldn’t come up qhen I touched a dialog box, but that stopped with the last update. Sorry you’re having trouble.

Yeah if you search for a problem you’ll find people with that problem.

I have a Pixel 4a 5G, and only now am I reluctantly upgrading. Reluctantly because it still works wonderfully, but I want wireless charging, and continued Graphene support.

I’m on 6a but I do miss the 4a 5g, the proportion were better, the texture felt good and I miss that little white button.

I tryed it out again and its noticeable slower than the 6a

I pretty much only use my phone for messaging, email, calendar, and browsing Lemmy. So I can’t say I’ve felt it slow.

I have a 7a arriving in a day or two. Looking forward to giving it a spin.

My 6a is fully a downgrade from my 3a which broke and I lament its passing every time I use the in screen fingerprint reader

It’s bigger, heavier, the battery is worse :(

I’m sure I had a lemon, but I think I had either the first or 2nd gen phone and it broke within 6 months. I had it in my hoodie pocket and I felt it vibrate so I took a look and it went into boot loop. Sadly I did not turn on developer mode so I could not get access to it or wipe it and the reset wouldn’t work either. Essentially it was wiped and I lost everything. I also don’t remember why but they did not allow the warranty either. Good news was it was a work phone so I did not pay for it. It was the only one I tried and I will not go back. I enjoy my Samsung.

Let me guess you had multiple profiles? Get a samsung or a OnePlus. Should be better. Pixels are known to have issues from time to time with new updates. The recent storage bug had people losing their data for example.
