I'm interested in this brand and their Gen 6. I kind of wish I was in the market for a phone. Unfortunately I bought a used Pixel 6 three years ago and everything is just fine with it 😄
My 5yo Pixel 6 inflated just last Friday. I panic-ordered a Pixel 9a, but since Google didn't fulfill my supplier's shipment, I cancelled and switched to a Fairphone today. It'll arrive tomorrow. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You can change the battery of Pixel 6, it's not insanely hard.
It's popped open and deformed.
