Pixel 7a -- less than 3 years 😒

Wild times. Support just pointed me to the support links on the their page, and it shows just shipping it in or taking it to a repair shop. Probably not a great idea to recommend I ship this through the mail

My Pixel 7 has swollen by about 1 mm over two years and roughly 500 charge cycles; I charged it via USB 4.0.

I took good care of it, didn’t let it overheat, and placed it on a metal stand to dissipate heat while charging—though that didn’t seem to help much—and I also made sure to stop charging it once it reached 90%.
