I have a Pixel 7 from a couple years ago. Its simply an inferior product compared to other mobiles on the market. The higher price could be a more regional issue perhaps but mine still has problems with fingerprint scanner, sim issues, heating problems etc.
The only reason I bought it was for the unlocked boot loader and grapheneos.
Pixel 7 still had problems with fingerprint reader, Pixel 9 doesn't
Haven't had any malfunctions on the pixel 9 at all, but I immediately installed grapheneOS and put it in a case. Maybe because I didn't grab it at launch I dodged a bullet? Odd.
Maybe they fixed some of that in later iterations. Heating and 5g bands are more region dependent so that could be just me since I live near the equator.
