Pixel 8, 2 or 3 years old, got a pink line on one side of the screen. Used it like that before I thought about repair, and it turns out my phone was valid for an extended warranty.

Drove an hour to my easiest repair centre, got it done with zero required documentation I spent hours trying to get an I’m now the happy owner of a shiny new screen.

I wish i could have saved the petrol money and fixed it myself, but at least I got a £175-ish repair done for free, and a fresh warranty on the screen to boot!

    Nice! Wonder if you can get the battery swapped while the screen is off. Would be like a new phone then

      I might have been able to (for a price)! In all honesty I love this phone, and depending on the cost of a replacement phone when the time comes I might just look into it.

      It’s the second best one I’ve ever had (the first was my beloved Xperia X which was amazing.
