The hanging could be due to the new software updates that added more bloat to the device.

Exactly these companies provide update to give bugs only.

Wow.. That's a great achievement bro. My MI 3 lasted for just 13 months and didn't boot up. I thought MI provided "Time Bomb" within their devices so that, the device will broke exactly after warranty period. But Poco F1 (I bought for that great feel of the Kevlar back) is still running great.

Brands use this strategy to keep the phone prices in check (They get money from the bloat apps' Co). Too bad, even big Company like Sammy is also guilty of this strategy in their budget and mid range segments.

That's why I love Motorola and Google phones. Both are having clean UI with zero ads. Further Motorola never gives update and so no fear of buggy updates . Google sells their phones already with lots of bugs and takes their sweet time to fix them one at a time with one update each.

Pixel 7 has issues apart from heating?

I can vouch for this, as I know from owning a Motorola mobile that I bought in 2020

The only good thing that the Chinese company Lenovo has continued ever since they acquired Motorola's mobile division (Motorola Mobility) from Google (in 2014) was that all of their mobile phones have been "near stock" Android along with a decent UI.

As far as software updates & bug fixes go, Motorola's singular policy to it's customers has been, "who did you say you were again? I don't even know you"

No Idea bro. I am using Pixel 6a.

Advantages of Moto phones apart from Clean ad free UI are great network performance (where Pixel is a SORE LOSER & Mid range Samsung is LOSER), great battery life, most accessories in box (case and fast charger), Splash resistance even in budget phones, 3.5mm jack + microSD slot and now stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos. Even though I love Samsung phones, they misses almost all these advantages, especially in their mid-range phones (especially the Exynos ones).

Expected Dis-Advantages in Moto Phones are POTATO Cameras (even GCAM can't help much here) and of course SW updates, which are the strong points of Pixel and Samsung phones.

So I am using Pixel 6a (Airtel) and Moto G62 (Jio) to get best of both worlds and I am really happy.

I didn't face any issues over four to five months of usgae. It took lot of time to have 5G, rest things were fine. I absolutely love the phone. Towards March end, I faced issues of heating a little bit. Rest of things were perfect. Can't wait to test Tensor G3 flat Pixel 8 Pro and Tensor G4(TSMC) in Pixel 9 Pro. Motorola is launching Dimensity powered smartphones of late, which I don't like. Camera is fine under 20K. G62/G71/G72 were excellent choices under 15-16K. G73 is also pretty good.

Not launching in India for sure. Get it imported from China or EU if you want it. EU has 4600 battery and US version has 5100 battery capacity. EU version will work in India. China version is cheapest with slightly different software. If you unlock bootloader and can flash EU version and relock bootloader, you can order from China.
