Problèmes de réparation connus
- Pixel parts pairing / biometric calibration. Reports from iFixit teardowns of Pixel 6 and later noted that fingerprint sensor and some camera replacements require Google's calibration tooling; replacements with used genuine parts have produced warnings, similar to other OEMs.
- Software update support windows for older Pixels. Pre-Pixel 8, devices received only 3 years of OS updates and 5 of security updates, limiting practical lifespan of repaired hardware. Google extended Pixel 8 to 7 years of updates after public criticism.
