  • The Android 15 update for Pixel devices is causing unexpected bricking of Pixel 6 devices.
  • Users report their Pixel 6 becoming completely unresponsive, with troubleshooting methods yielding no results.
  • The issue might be related to the Private Space on Android 15, but further investigation is needed.

Disappointing, you'd think this wouldn't happen with Google controlling both hardware and software

Perhaps, the testing folks thought the same thing as you, and skipped testing a thing or four. 🤣/s

Anyway, the 1st gen pixel users suffered the most. The latest gen pixel 8 series (and perhaps pixel 9) are not critically hit and have less heating problems. It sucks being early adopter for beta hardware and software. Google should compensate the affected users with upgrade to pixel 7/8 or even 9 series if possible.
