Pixel 9 Pro XL went kaput after latest update
Got a system/security update around the 5th of Aug, the very next day - the motherboard fried. sim cards(both physical and e-sim) stopped working completely.
Got in touch with support and they mention that since it's out of warranty - I'll have to replace the entire motherboard, which is ~₹48k($500), which makes no sense to me.
Switched to my Pixel 6 pro for a few days, contemplating if I should wait it out and get myself pixel 11 pro xl, or if I should switch to something like a samsung s26 ultra instead.
Enjoyed the phone, but it kinda sucks to have a "flagship" go kaput like this in less than 2 years of purchase.
