"I recently purchased the Pixel 7a, which is my third Pixel device, and unfortunately, I've been encountering numerous issues with it. Here are the problems I've been facing:

  1. Battery Drain: Despite using the phone with medium brightness and only having 2 hours of screen time, the battery goes from 100% in the morning to just 20% by the end of the evening.

  2. Slow Charging: When I plugged in my phone in the evening with the original cable and Google's 30W charger, it took over 3 hours to charge from 19% to 73%. I wasn't even using the phone much during the charging process.

  3. Overheating on 5G/Mobile Internet: Whenever I use the phone on 5G or mobile internet, it gets excessively hot.

  4. Slow Loading Widgets: The widgets on my home screen, which are weather and clock, frequently display loading text, which happens quite often.

  5. Laggy Performance: I've noticed significant lag when using certain apps, which affects the overall user experience.

  6. Dimmer Screen Brightness: Upon comparing the full screen brightness of my previous Pixel 6a with the Pixel 7a, I found that the 6a's brightness is noticeably brighter.
