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.
Her battery may also just be going bad, for what it’s worth. My Pixel 5’s life was extended by at least 2 years (before taking a free upgrade to a Pixel 9, running stock OS) by a battery replacement. If you’re reasonably handy with electronics, it’s less than a $100 fix. I don’t know what a phone repair shop would charge.
You may not have to replace a whole phone quite yet.
Definitely not handy with electronics and a new device has already been ordered and it’s case and she’s going to use the trade-in program and use it as a trade-in. If it explodes after then, then it’s not our problem anymore.
