The affected users took to forums, Reddit and Google Support Pages to report the problems and find a solution to the problem. It is not clear what issue is causing the phone to abruptly shut down. A user even attempted rebooting the phone in safe mode but the problem still persisted, suggesting that it may be a Google-related software issue. The company has not responded on the issue yet.

This is not the first time that Google’s Pixel series is experiencing problems. The original Pixel phones were plagued by microphone problems and some users reported complete audio input block. Google later offered to replace the affected handsets under warranty.
