Idk respectfully, devices used for spans of time counting in days is far from "dead". You got a leamon, it happens.
Talk to me when we see devices dying after a handful of months/ within the first year (when you can't just immediately get your money back because you put in a return).
Yeah....and how much was that phone? Like $2k USD. That's not okay in the slightest. It's okay to get a lemon item from amazon because we all know its cheap crap, but for a $2k phone!!? Hell no. How about google or whoever is manufacturing this thing do some proper QC and R&D and not sell shitty two thousand dollar phones??
This wasn't a lemon. There was a specific flaw in the design that left the oled exposed to debris and it tore
I just got a Pixel 7, had the Fold in my cart originally but thankfully did a little bit of research into foldy phones. One reviewer said to be careful if you go out to a beach or anywhere with sand because it can get into it and damage the inside screen. I go to the beach all the time.
The seam over the hinge looks hideous in regular use too. Too noticable of a bump. I don't trust the hinge to stay 100% tight forever either. It reminds me of the first Moto Droid, the keyboard lock often wouldn't lock so it would just slide freely.
