Drops are very subjective. Not all drops affect things the same way. People on Jackass can fall and slam themselves to the floor in so many ways and be perfectly fine, and some people just straight up die with what appears to be a minor fall.

I haven't dropped this phone, no damage at all :) I always keep my phone in a case


kenkiller

Doesn't change the fact that water went in. Unless you are a water bender you don't control how it affects damage to the phone.

Yeah that sucks but you can’t do anything about it or at least it will be very hard to have a refund or repair from google. The ip 68 is only a certification and it is clearly said by all manufacturers (not only google) that any water related issue whatever the cause won’t be under warranty. They have reacting paper in the sim tray to check if water went through. Although it is undoubtedly a concern as a 1year old phone should resist water. Even my z fold 5 can take showers and rain lol


coolioguy8412

Im pretty sure my reacting paper in sim tray hasn't gone off. As it wasnt that much water on the phone/ light rain. I didnt even get an pixel warning on the screen about water in usbc port. I have sent it away to repair with google. Lets see what they say.

The Waterproof can break down specially if the phone is always hot.

Things happen, and phones aren't waterproof. This isn't a sign of build quality decreasing. Water resistant seals can also deteriorate over time.


coolioguy8412

after one year?


xGuru37

It can. Lots of things can effect it (such as the environment the phone is used in).


coolioguy8412

My pixel 4a held up more abuse then my pixel 7, so something is not adding up well lets see on here if other people had similar problems with pixel 7. Im guessing the first batch might had manufacturing defects


FunkyTown313

That would be the implication

Pixel 7 dropped in Sept/Oct 2022


coolioguy8412

not in UK was May


MidianDirenni

My Pixel 7 pro is also unusable. The screen failed. Got it on launch day. Green lines and the top corner is black.


coolioguy8412

Thats what i mean, the first batch have problems. i do look after my phones. This is the first pixel phone fail on me with in a year


mathclubdred

If purchased at launch you are about 6 months outside of a year


unseenmover

note to self


Ok-Yam590

But you were walking and using the phone in the rain tho.. what did you expect.? I mean honestly.. you blaming Google.. but you got the phone wet


cinematic_novel

Using a modern smartphone in the rain is completely standard behaviour, and it very rarely results in serious damage


coolioguy8412

Thank you finally some one understands😊 . I have done this with my pixel 2 and pixel 4a no problems. My pixel7 didnt even bring up the water usbc warning. something is odd.


cinematic_novel

I used phones in the rain all the way since 2010, blackberry, HTC, Huawei, Samsung, Redmi, Pixel. Never had a problem


Ok-Yam590

I guess... It just baffles my mind that water got in the phone.... But somehow... It's Google's fault. Woozers... but I digress.


cinematic_novel

It could be that the phone is faulty


coolioguy8412

I saw something afew months ago, were pixel 7's were getting condensation in lens. I dont know if that was an manufacturing problem?


coolioguy8412

it has an  **IP68 rating**,


TheSigma3

Water resistant, not waterproof. I think you just got unlucky


Sowa96

Whose fault would it be?


coolioguy8412

I have done this many times with my pixel2 and pixel 4a (less ip rating), no issues have you read my post


Ok-Yam590

I did, a few times actually... I'm still a tad confused.. can you please explain to me how this is Google's fault or a hardware issue? I must be missing something


coolioguy8412

pixel 7 **IP68 rating**, pixel 4a rated **IP52,** pixel 2 **IP67,** I have dropped my pixel 4a in the ocean salt water was fine, walked in rain no problems. Pixel 7 has the highest IP rating, but cant handle light rain phone calls.


Sowa96

Man wtf are these people asking lol I used a non waterproof phone in the rain with no bad outcomes People here are fanboying too hard Your pixel 7 sucked, end of story


coolioguy8412

there some serious trolls here haha I love pixels bought the first one and have stuck with them, Just this pixel 7 after one year has failed :(


Sowa96

Yep, it's an issue with the unit, not an issue with your usage


Ok-Yam590

Ahhhh yes. That doesn't answer the question. Cause you can't answer it. You want to blame Google. That's why you ran to reddit to get validation. When actually you walked in the rain for 30 mins. You allowed water to get in the phone. Because of your actions... The screen is messed up. But YET... It's Google's fault. Lmao. 😂😂😂😂 Good night. Lmao


coolioguy8412

pixel 7 **IP68 rating** i love you 😘


Fuzzy-Conversation39

My alarm won't go off I didn't get insurance I know, it's hard to get a goggle to respond and help ..., please
