A friend of mine bought several google pixels and, the firts time they slipped from her pocket, their screen completely broke, even if they had a cover and a screen protector, and this happened with three models. So, how’s your experience and how I can prevent my pixels from breaking? Thanks for the eventual responses, and I’m sorry if this post is written with bad english, I just hope that the question is clear.
I have a ~4 year old Pixel 3a, it’s got a case but no screen protector. I drop it all the time, but it’s pretty much totally fine still, at least physically. Definitely running a bit sluggish these days, but otherwise perfect. Maybe I’m just lucky? Or maybe they’ve gotten worse since?
What os are your running on your pixel?
The stock one? 😭 Don’t roast me pleassseee, I know…
If your interested in a more private OS for your phone - I did some searching and unfortunately GrapheneOS won’t support the 3a anymore, and the DivestOS is broken for the 3a.
If your feeling up to it, I would recommend either CalyxOS or LineageOS:
CalyxOS: https://calyxos.org/install/devices/sargo/
LineageOS: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/sargo/install
Thanks! I was planning on trying LineageOS once the stock OS got too outdated to keep using, but only because it was the one I knew about. Any pros or cons between Calyx and Lineage?
I would personally Install Calyx - you can relock the bootloader, the install is meant to be easy and the community is supposedly very friendly - you should be able to troubleshoot without issue.
(I haven’t personally used it so YMMV)
