      I’ve owned almost every Pixel device (except 5 and 8) and the biggest problem I’ve ever had is that the camera started crashing randomly when I would try to use it. I eventually found that that issue was tied to an app, not the phone.

      I’m not saying people don’t have problems but, in my own experience, the phones have been nothing but solid.

        Pixel 2 was notorious for a system software update that borked the camera. I owned one. Made the camera and flashlight unusable

          My Verizon pixel 2 rear camera just stopped working 2 months ago. Figured it couldn’t be a software update since it hasn’t received updates in like 5 years. I just said screw it, I had a Google branded Pixel 2 in the junk drawer anyway and started using that.

      Try looking under direct sunlight with the screen off. That is, if you actually want to know. I’d rather not know, to be honest

        Yeah I’m cool, that stuff would kill me LMFAO. I scratched the aluminium before I got a case a vertical scratch from the bottom of the glass to the lowest part of the camera bump and I already hate it lol
