So which Pixel hardware survived seven years in the past? πŸ€”

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Still have the OG Pixel XL for unlimited image/video backup. Released in 2016. battery doesn't last long, a little burn in but still works well with Android 10.

Without replaceable batteries, there's no way I'm holding onto a phone for that long.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

The batteries are replaceable. Just not user-replaceable and therefore a bit more expensive. Typically $80-100 a pop for Pixels.

How on earth did you not have that bullshit battery disconnect issue.

I had three of them, after a certain period of time it would always show 50% battery and not charge. Just death.

They eventually upgraded me to a 5a, that I've had for a few years but I'm astonished that anyone still has a pixel 2.
