I could never get Google Pay working properly with a custom ROM. Plus the screen looks like this:

Ouch. Yeah, GPay is somewhat unstable, but I haven't found a phone to replace it with so far. Just bought a new battery and backplate

I dropped it with a pop socket on the back and it landed right on the pop socket. You can see where it pushed through the display and caused that circular crack. It was maybe 80% as bad when it happened, the other 20% happened after using it for a year like that. I got so used to reading text only on the top half of the screen 🤣 I loved that phone so much I didn't want to get rid of it which I only did because large pieces of glass were coming out.

I ended up getting a Pixel 7 Pro. I only ever had Google phones before the 1+ so it made sense just to switch back after the direction 1+ took around that time.

It's a great phone. Love the elevator camera, no notch, nice size. Too bad they folded like the rest of the industry and now only do notches or punch holes. Did you put a screen protector on it or how did you not cut yourself on that mess :D?

I'm hoping one of the next pixels comes with an underscreen camera, then I can get one to put grapheneos on it.
