I've never had a pixel phone survive through its support period. The hardware always dies first.

Tbf some pixel models have proven reliable, my mom's pixel 4 lasted long enough to be out of support and then it got owned and her bank accounts got taken over.

The downside of reliable HW I guess.

Counterpoint: my Pixel 3 and 5 are both still running fine. The 3 (2018) actually gets better battery life than the 5.
I managed to get 2 pixel devices in a row that have known issues of just dying. My CC company refunded one of them. :/

I also had a Nexus 5 (boot looped of course).
