Huh my Pixel 7 no longer holds a cable at all and it’s not due to lint. I’m far from the only one too. I see folks complain about the port on them all the time.
Comment on When something still uses micro USB in 2025
some_random_nick@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoMy Pixel is going strong for 4 years and the USB-C port works like on day one. Comparing that to my old Samsung J7 which I also had for 4 years, that port struggled 3 years in. I think most of my microUSB devices had worn out ports after a year or two of charging.

Strange. I have a 4a 5G model. Had some issues with lint 2 or 3 times, but everything else is fine. Might be just manufacturers skimming on quality as usual.

My pixel was the USB-C phone that I was referencing above 🙈
I’m glad it works for at least some folks :)
