minus-squareBluePeriod_@alien.topBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 months agoWhat is a rug anyway? It seems like every pixel has some sort of weird “don’t worry about it” QC issue.

minus-squareTehOwn@alien.topBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 months agoHuh, I’ve got the Pixel 2 XL and updated the Camera app with no issue. I guess it’s just the normal Pixel 2?

I just want one with a rear fingerprint sensor. Is that so much to ask?

minus-squareDirect_Definition_52@alien.topBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 months agoI had to return a Pixel 6 I bought because 5G works only on the region the phone was sold in 🤦 what a load of BS. Even 4G+ wouldn’t work!

Google has no QC department
