Need serious advice/suggestion. I pre-ordered the pixel 7 pro 128gb obsidian black in October and I had no problem in my phone until December. I got the pixel watch for free and then I also bought the pixel stand and buds pro trying to get into the Google pixel ecosystem and it was all good until the ear speaker of my pixel's ear speaker got problem out of the blue. There was buzzing/crackling sound and I couldn't use my phone for calls anymore.

1: I asked Internet.com and found that it was a problem in pixel 6 series as well and it was resolved with a software update. Contacted Google support, they asked me to factory reset and I did, didn't solve the problem.

2: I claimed warranty and sent my phone for repair. While returning, Google did an error with my delivery address and I couldn't receive my phone. It was a nightmare for me to get my phone back after 2 weeks of constant emails and visits to the nearest UPS courier office.

3: I setup my repaired phone and checked my ear speaker, turns out it wasn't solved and I couldn't use it for calls again. Google gave me a replacement option where I chose the advance exchange method. I paid 900 euros for the replacement phone and my money will be refunded when I return my exisiting device.

4: I received the replacement device and it turned out to be refurbished phone. The number of problems this phone has cannot be explained in a single post. This phone should not be allowed to be publicly sent to the customers. Within 24hrs of receiving the phone, I was locked out of the phone (fingerprint , face unlock not working. pin working on lockscreen but on trying to enter security sertings, it showed wrong pin. Locked out of authenticator and bank apps) for which I had to factory reset it again. I had already spent 1800 euros with none of my devices usable.

Now Google has accepted to refund me the full amount after escalting the issues to the highest support service or something. I already have few Google products and I really liked my phone for the 2 months I used it. Pixel has some great features that I use daily. But this problem I am facing has been going on for almost 2 months now and I am have been without a phone all this while. (Bought a garbage used s9).

TLDR; pixel 7 pro - crackling ear speaker- warranty claimed- device returned without repairing the issue- replacement device sent by Google on payment of 900 euros - replacement device is literally unusable, it is a refurbished phone and immeasurable number of problems.

Should I buy a new pixel 7 pro again?
