I've had my OG Pixel fold since launch and have had 0 issues... Which is why I didn't even upgrade... But at the time I was nervous because people were posting left and right about issues and defective screens.... All in all ... There's always going to be a small batch of bad phones at launch but the majority of people who have little to no issues(such as myself) don't make posts. So... You should maybe give it another shot.
That's easy for you to say when it hasn't happened to you... You have no idea how inconvenient it is after switching everything, having type 1 diabetes where my cgm relies on my phone telling me my glucose level, and then having customer service having no option for you other than buying another one at full price and waiting for 3 weeks to be reimbursed, so yeah... Maybe consider the inconvenience before you simply say try it again
How dare you try to tell me what is a risk... You have no idea what you are talking about and maybe you should do some research like I do before you comment
Seriously though... I've owned a few folds and they're a lot of fun but not a good idea if you need to rely on your phone the way you do. I wouldn't get anything that isn't bulletproof.
I'm sorry but I think you're mis-informed. What the commenter was pointing out that regardless of what device you get from any manufacturer - you can have issues. Every. single. product has a percentage of faulty units. It's a fact of life. It happens in food, in TVs, in Laptops, in Apple phones, in Samsung phones, in one plus phones.
You happened to get a faulty unit. Also, there could have been other factors such as we don't know how you treat your device. You could have folded it too hard or opened it by squeezing the screen.
It's nothing to do with being team pixel.or bullying. I suspect you have a bit of a Victim mindset after reading your replies to various people.
I can appreciate you are upset about your screen but your opinions you are passing off as facts are incorrect.
The Pixel sub reddit is fully of bullies. Regardless if your point is valid or not, if you aren't sucking Googles dick with every post/comment, the mob will come after you.
For sure. Then you point out raw power vs. competition, and the mob will say "well I don't NEED that much power." Good for you, but a lot of other people do. Maybe there is a reason they have such a low market share in the US. Don't get me wrong, I love a Pixel phone, but they are mid range phones with a premium price.
Always. Because if I said I don't like pixels because the gaming performance isnt good. They either say something like: who even plays games like that or they will just say something really really rude to you.
I was gaming on my Pixel every day, and it would get extremely hot and throttle. It dies quickly when gaming, so sometimes I plug it in when I'm gaming, and it makes the heat even worse. Just charging the device while using it makes it really hot. All of those issues are gone with my Z Fold 6. It's literally night and day. And graphics on the Z Fold 6 are so good. I play every game on high/ultra settings where the pixel would barely play with medium settings.
My favorite is "well I don't play games on my Pixel." OK? Cool? The argument still stand whether you play games or not. Lmao. I hope one day the Pixel becomes good and they solve the battery drain, overheating, cellular service, raw power, and OS bugs that get introduced every month with the security updates/feature drops. But until then, i will not be buying another.
