All of my Pixel devices have had the battery explode well before the 7 year mark.

I have worked as an Android developer for many years and have had 10+ Pixel devices with swollen batteries.

This is nice on paper but I honestly don't think the hardware will last this long.



It's possible to replace batteries. They are the only real wear part in a phone, so there's no reason a phone wouldn't work for many years if they're replaced every 2-3 years.


My Nexus phone was the only one that had ever developed a swollen battery in my lifetime.


You've had 10 devices develop bloated batteries?

There has to be an environmental factor. Note 7 devices failed less consistently than that and they were eradicated from the market.
