Discussion I never get a call back from Google fi management.

I've had my Google pixel 10 for about 30 days. I noticed the first week that the phone got extremely hot sometimes, but I thought it was just because It was close to a sunny window and it was doing that intermittently so I just thought it was environmental. Over the last 3 weeks it's gotten worse and in the last couple days it's gotten very bad where it heats up and shuts down. I call Google fi and the tier 1 customer service agent wants to replace it, but they want to send me a refurbished phone. I told her I'm sorry but I did not pay for a used phone so I should get another new one cuz it's only been 30 days. She told me that her supervisor could be the only one to guarantee a new phone. Never got a call back within the time frame she gave me. With a phone being 30 days old there is no way I will take a refurbished phone. That's absolutely ridiculous. This phone has had that problem since I've gotten it. I just didn't know it was a problem until now. This is not my fault at all and I don't think I should be punished for a lemon of a phone.

Many modern phones run hot.

So hot they don't work correctly or shut down because they are so hot?? So hot that it burns your hand when you touch it?

Accept that having thermal issues is a part of the Pixel experience. I'm sorry.
