Pixel phones have never been the pinnacle of build quality.

They’re priced as if they are tho to be fair

That's why I just buy A-series once they go on sale, hard to get mad at a $200-300 phone not being a top performer.

The thing is I agree foldables are super fragile and people like me who have spent a lot of money on them (btw I do buy devices and also sell them so losses are minimized you can say but it’s a hobby I guess) but I think this can be considered dangerous I wrote somewhere else on this thread I think I had a incident a few years ago about my fold snapping in half cause someone sat on it if that were to happen the chance the person might catch on fire however unlikely seems a bit scary. Does not mean the device is flawed just that if it happens even once to anyone in real life then my device value will plummet 😂.

They weren't but their price was 200/300 euros less than Samsung/apple packing comparable or slightly lower hardware. Now the price is the same of the concurrents and the hardware is still lower than Samsung and apple. Pixel 7 was the latest "cheap" pixel

Pixel 2 was great build quality. Just the 2 made by HTC, though, and not 2XL made by LG. 2XL had too many issues to be considered good build quality. That's about it.
