      lmao I had the Nexus 6P, best phone ever IMO, but thing died about a year after I got it from some CPU bug. Been dying to get a pixel ever since, but every one has had serious hardware issues, it’s really sad.

        Eh, I own the 6a- first pixel I’ve ever owned and it’s far and away the best phone I’ve ever owned. The software and user experience is so much better than apple and Samsung. I’m sold on the brand. Not sure if I’ll upgrade to the 8 or wait for the 9 so I can get a smaller pro.

      I’m glad I decided to stick with Motorola and not try pixel devices…why so many quality issues? Samsung doesn’t have stuff like this. Neither does Motorola, OnePlus, Xiaomi, Sony, etc…

        Basing quality issues on headlines is not ideal. Samsung and those others have other quality issues as well that Google doesn’t. Lemons exist, but it would be wise for Google and others to acknowledge them and resolve it.

    Does this effect all models? I just got my 8. This would explain the issues some people were having with screen protectors.

    I got a Pixel 8 Pro, luckely no bumps on it but it would have been sendt back instantly if it had any.

    For the price i gave for it i expect there to be NOTHING wrong with it from the start!

    The bumps appear to be coming from the little metal tensioning tabs pressing against the back of the screen through the copper heat transfer tape a little too hard.

    iPhone 15 has these tabs but only on the reinforced edges of the frame and Samsung doesn’t use them at all for Galaxy S series

    Bizarre design choice from Google to have the tabs press directly into the back of the screen…

    I bought the pixel8 on pre order and see no issues whatsoever. I don’t use it daily as I mostly use my iPhone. But I’ve used it quite a lot still.
