Pixel 8, 2 or 3 years old, got a pink line on one side of the screen. Used it like that before I thought about repair, and it turns out my phone was valid for an extended warranty.
Drove an hour to my easiest repair centre, got it done with zero required documentation I spent hours trying to get an I’m now the happy owner of a shiny new screen.
I wish i could have saved the petrol money and fixed it myself, but at least I got a £175-ish repair done for free, and a fresh warranty on the screen to boot!


Oh wow, I got my phone replaced too! Except the new replacement is having battery issues already. I had the phone shut off without warning around 10% and just today I had the phone drop from 9% to 0 in the span of a few minutes. Had to work without my music :/
I dont know what to do now. My warranty expires on the 25th and I spent so long in hell/purgatory trying to get FedEx to just properly deliver my phone too for 5 days straight. The driver wouldn’t knock and would just leave a note instantly. Had to spend an hour on the phone just to get them to hold the package.
Ugh I didn’t think getting my phone replacement would be this difficult and involved. I’m stressed over it. Don’t buy a foldable phone, the screen protector peels after a year or so and the screen ends up getting damaged if you don’t replace the screen protector in time…
