My sister went through two of them in quick order. While they take amazing photos, both phones she bought had screens that flashed white and went blank and then the phone got very hot.

A friend of mine who works for a car dealership said that his employer bought one for taking pics of vehicles for sale and that Pixel did the exact same thing.

Clearly some issues there.

I eliminate all the issues of smartphones with my flip phone. To call and text, period.
I'll get on the internet when I have time. Don't need to carry it around everywhere.

No issues so far except I did drop it and cracked the screen. That said, I replaced the screen myself and it was way easier than I thought it would be. Saved myself at least $150.00.
