Can't use smartphones after installation Some owners of Google Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, and Pixel 6a smartphones report that after updating their devices to the Android 14 operating system, they become unusable. How widespread the problem is is unknown. It is reported that after updating the Google Pixel 6 series to Android 14, users lose the ability to take photos, and open files on the device, and the memory capacity changes from 128 GB to 4 GB.

Some equipment is currently out of warranty. Several users reported that Google does not intend to provide warranty service, but recommended that they "buy a new phone." Some users claim that Android 14 breaks the Google Pixel 6. One customer writes: "So Google is pushing Android 14 with a device breaking bug and all their support can say "Thanks for spending $1500 on a phone but your one-year warranty has expired and we have no idea what to do. You You can buy a brand new device again, thank you, come again."

Google has promised that the Pixel 6 series will receive three years of major Android updates and the phone will be able to upgrade to Android 15.

No major damage The authors of the PBKreviews channel were among the first to conduct a drop test of the Pixel 8 Pro smartphone. Unlike the authors of PhoneBuff, who conduct such tests using a robotic arm, the authors of PBKreviews simply throw the smartphone on the ground.

However, in this case, the results turned out to be interesting in any case, after all the falls, Google’s new product did not receive serious damage. The smartphone escaped with minor chips and scratches, but no large cracks appeared on the glass. https://youtu.be/q9iVMkW-YLo Of course, like any modern glass smartphone, it is better not to drop the Pixel 8 Pro, but still, this test gives hope that if an accidental drop occurs, the smartphone will survive it without any special consequences.
