Your pixel 5 didn't just mysteriously die? There was a wave of them dying. Mine was part of the crossfire.
I loved the pixel 5 too, for like 3 years then mysteriously croaked.
Currently on the pixel 6 which is pretty good.
Ive not heard of this - were you on the standard Google OS? I wonder if that makes any difference.
I've been on custom ROM (CalyxOS) for most of the phone's life.
I had the 5a, and the screen died after a small fall, apparently that was common with this phone, and yes I only found out defective it was from other reviews
