any veteran #pixel user here? i can't figure out a few things. first of all i went for 256gb model because i didn't want to buy a new subscription for storage, but now it appears that the google photos app is not letting me save anything on the photos app because i don't have any storage (maxxed out the 15 gb default)

Ahead of its launch in just a few weeks, more Pixel 9 leaks are helping to confirm what Google’s latest flagship series will bring to the table. Now, some new renders of Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro XL are offering a clear look at the two devices, including a pink color that doesn’t seem as vibrant as pictured previously.

I very recently bought a used Pixel 6 with a replacement screen, not thinking too much of it. I even made sure that the screen looked good during pickup.

One thing I missed though, was that apparently my Pixel doesn't have a fingerprint sensor anymore. I did some research, apparently it's quite easy to break the fingerprint sensor (or some places simply just don't include a sensor in the repair?) when replacing the screen.

Today I also noticed (through Show refresh rate in developer options) that my screen will only do 60 Hz as well.

Also I have stupidly high battery drain, I'm not 100% if that's related though.

Long story short, learn from my mistakes and either don't buy a used phone with a replacement screen or carefully test all functionalities associated with the screen, mainly high refresh rate and the fingerprint sensor.
