“Google Pixel 7 Pro volume buttons spontaneously fall off”

Some of the Pixel 7 Pro owners have the phone’s volume buttons coming off. That happens without the phone suffering any physical damage. Users indicate that according to Google, the error is not covered by the warranty.

Google Pixel 7 Pro volume buttons

When a new phone is launched, things can go wrong. A small percentage of buyers will always have to deal with hardware or software defects. It’s mainly on the popular models that these flaws come to the fore and this time it’s the turn of the Pixel 7 Pro.

Users on Reddit report that the volume buttons on their phones spontaneously release. The problem also occurs in the review sample of Android Central editor Nick Sutrich. At the moment, the bug has only been spotted on the Pixel 7 Pro and not on the base model. Some users have successfully managed to get the buttons back in place, but after that they remain loose. As if they could fall again at any moment.

When affected users contact Google support, they are told that Google will not repair the error under warranty. That is very remarkable, because there is not a single trace of damage. For these users, we hope that Google will revise its judgment if enough people report the issue.

He remains highly recommended

By the way, this is not the only hardware failure that occurs to some Pixel 7 owners. Photos have also surfaced on Twitter of users in which the glass of the main camera of the Pixel 7 series spontaneously cracks.

But it is important to remember that these problems fortunately only occur in a small proportion of buyers. The Pixel 7 Pro remains an excellent buy. It was voted one of the top three high-end phones of 2022 and was also an Editor’s Choice of 2022.
