Pixel 3/3 XL: Poor battery life, overheating, early screen burn-in.
Pixel 4/4 XL: Terrible battery, unreliable face unlock (no fingerprint), gimmicky features.
Pixel 5/5a: Middling performance, battery degradation; 5a had widespread motherboard failures.
Pixel 6/6 Pro: Overheating (Tensor chip), slow/unreliable fingerprint scanner, poor modem/connectivity, screen issues.
Pixel 7/7 Pro: Screen delamination (lifting/bubbling), camera autofocus bugs (e.g., firmware breaking focus outside macro), overheating, connectivity glitches.
Pixel 8/8 Pro: Fingerprint inconsistencies, battery drain, overheating, mixed durability.
Pixel 9 series: Extended boot times, update-induced sluggishness/boot issues, occasional launcher failures.
Pixel 10 series: January 2026 update caused Wi-Fi/Bluetooth failures (some also hit camera/flashlight), sluggish performance post-updates, prolonged boots/black screens, app crashes, flickering AOD (mostly fixed later), muffled speakers.
Google is going to start reducing the battery capacity at 200 charge cycles on the 9a. F that noise.

Having said that, pretty much most google made products I've owned have either broken considerably quicker than usual or just have had tons of software (lol) issues.

The refund was part of Google rolling back the performance of the 6a battery via android update to reduce the risk of the battery overheating and catching fire. There was an email that google sent to all owners of the 6a around last summer that gave owners the option of getting the battery fixed at no charge or accepting a one time $100 payment. I chose the $100 payment knowing that the 6a battery would have reduced capacity and slower charge times. I apologize if some of the details may be incorrect, as I am trying to recall from memory the events, but this is generally what individuals are referring to when they mention the $100 payment.

Why get one after the 3? Having said that I like the 9XL. Everything seems to work well and it runs smoothly. I like the amount of ram google offers.
