My mother has a Google Pixel 7, and about six months ago it started getting incredibly hot, and I thought nothing of it, and we've managed to factory reset it, and it worked fine, but now it's doing it again, and after seeing all the issues with the Google Pixel A lineup and catching fire, I'm very concerned, so we are going to replace it.

They were good phones. I had the Pixel 1 and the Pixel 3a, and they were fine. And then all this crap started happening. At least Samsung only had one phone that exploded.

Google had phones explode? I hadn't heard about that. Samsung is a nightmare for other reasons too so this news sucks.

Well, there's been at least a couple of Google Pixel 6a devices that spontaneously burst into flames while charging.

My wife's pixel, I think a 7a, had the battery issue. It started going from 20% to 0 instantly then the back expanded and smelled like burning. Google replaced the battery but the cracked rear case was not covered... It was less than 1.5 years old
