After 30 days of use, my Pixel 2 XL is officially dead. Here I come, Samsung!

These are the issues I've had, in order:

  1. Screen is dull, with washed out colors.
  2. Multiple apps crash daily.
  3. Camera has close range focusing issues.
  4. Significant screen burn-in.
  5. Screen's max brightness is variable, regardless of settings.
  6. 3.5mm adapter dongle stops working.
  7. Fingerprint reader stops working half of the time.
  8. Screen occasionally flashes different colors or shows ghost images on a white screen.
  9. Phone shuts down when charging.
  10. Phone is unable to charge.

All software updates were installed as they became available to me (T-Mobile). A factory reset resolved nothing.

And Google won't refund me. :(

In the past, I have used nokia smartphones, and they were easy to replace with fresh batteries, since almost all nokias used the same battery type. Now with android, its all over the place. Is it even worth it to go for a removable battery device when you cant find a replacement a couple of years after you purchase it? What do you think/prefer? PS. I realize this is not exactly fault of android OS, but ...
