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.

    I’ve consistently had overheating issues with pixels I’ve had, and then the battery starts bulging and shattering the back of the phone. Unfortunate, because everything else about the phones works well. But I’ve given up on pixels because of this

      Can’t say as I blame you. I know pixels were good, and I used to use GrapheneOS when I had mine. But now, I won’t get one myself, and I’m definitely not going to recommend them again. At least not until Google demonstrates that this has been put behind them for several years.
