        The camera sucks, Google doctors the resulting photos with AI but it looks like crap. The battery sucks, it also overheats easily. But that’s not the worst part, the worst part is the ZERO FRICTION BACKING. It fucking slides off everything. Who the hell in their design department approved such a moronic idea? How are billion dollar corporations making such shit products while continuing to fail upwards?

              I have a pixel 6a that I use a lot, and it only overheats if I leave it in the phone holder in my work truck when I park in the sun.

              What are you doing that causes the phone to work that hard?

                Doing literally anything on it south of the 37th parallel.

                  I guess I should point out I live and work in coastal Georgia.

                  So I dunno why I have such a different experience. I’m on my phone a lot calling people and using GPS with no overheating issues unless it’s in direct sunlight for too long.

                    Yeah, we’ve gotten over 30°c and mine has never overheated
