Google mobile hardware has a long history of shoddiness. It absolutely shines in the components useful to marketing and completely falls down in the ones which aren't. The Nexus 4 had screen tint issues and a defective speaker that emitted a high pitched buzzing noise. The Nexus 5 overheated often and sometimes the camera just stopped connecting. The Nexus 5X had boot loop issues so bad there was a class action lawsuit. The Nexus 6P had the same boot loop issues as well as faulty battery sensors and poorly-designed frame that bent and snapped in the middle. Pixel 1 had faulty microphones that Google knew about and still sold, resulting in another class action lawsuit. The Pixel 2 emitted weird clicking and scratching noises from its speaker at all times. The Pixel 2 XL had a godawful POLED display with colors so uneven it looked like someone stomped on the panels before installing them. Oh and both their USB-C ports would spontaneously break and prevent charging the phone. Pixel 3XL included two wildly disparate speakers with no way to balance them, so the audio always feels like it's coming from one side.
Trust me, some wild-ass Pixel 6 hardware fault will emerge in the next twelve months.
