I had to refurbish mine a few times, the power button wore enough that it fell out, a couple screen replacements, and a few battery replacements. It’s not too bad to repair as long as you don’t carelessly put generic aftermarket battery adhesive over the fingerprint ribbon cable 😳 I have a bucket of pixel 5 parts at this point.
Replaced 2 power buttons that fell out, plus a spicy battery, but the screen was trying to fall out after that and when the button fell out again I just gave up
Hmm maybe I’m just lucky but I never had issues with the screen falling out unless I misaligned the adhesive or didn’t clean the edge enough beforehand. I use the black plastic piece in the ifixit kit that’s shaped like a flat head screwdriver to scrape the inside edge clean of goo.
I guess I’m running my pixel 5 into the ground then… Tbh I miss my 5 inch pixel 2. That felt ideal to me.
I still have a working pixel 3, two of them actually, and they’re a perfect size phone
My p5 died and I got a p8a which isn’t much bigger. I miss my Nexus 5.
Pixel 4a was such a nice phone in terms of form factor.
My pixel 6 is just a touch bigger than I’d like, running it til no more security updates then looking at dumb phones. Miss my old flip phone
I wish. Mine literally fell apart
