Have had 3 pixels but the 7 pro is my last. Hardware issues with both the 5 and 7pro. Customer service is the worst. Next phone will probably be the iPhone since they switched to USBC.
I was a Pixel loyalist from the first one, which I loved. The 3A was great, I enjoyed the value of the phone and it was everything I needed without any fuss. 5A felt like basically the same phone with less features despite being two generations later, but whatever, it did its job. I got a 7 Pro and it was worst phone I ever owned, and ironically the most expensive. I had all kinds of issues with the device as Google’s support seemed to just get worse and worse over time.
I switched to an iPhone after never really being a fan of Apple products. The transition was seamless and easy. Glad I got to stay with type C, and overall I am quite happy with the switch. Only thing I miss is I really prefer taking pictures on Google phones, but Apple seems to have the advantage in video.
Sigh… Yep, even after having my 7 pro fixed there’s still buggy issues with it. Disappointed because I liked the concept of a pure android phone. It is what it is. Maybe they’ll improve after losing enough users.
Muffled mic on calls. It always sounds like my mic was covered by something when I called anyone. Google acknowledged the issue and replaced the phone under the 1 year warranty. Black screen of death on the pixel 7 pro. I loved the pixel 5 as well. But not having a great experience with the 7.
Interesting. That must have been a rare issue. I used a Pixel 5 for three years and followed owner forums pretty closely and that’s a new one to me. I know a small number of people got Pixel 5 phones where the screen wasn’t fully in the frame at one corner but that’s it. Luckily I didn’t have that issue.
So far my Pixel 8 Pro has been pretty good. No bumps. It does get significantly hotter than the Pixel 5 did especially when charging.

I’m curious what hardware issue you had with the Pixel 5. Mine was great.
