Google is settling it Pixel microphone lawsuit. Those of you that bought one of the original Pixel phones and had microphone issues can get up to $500 back from the search giant.
Back in 2017, some original Pixels and Pixel XLs started experiencing microphone failures — theorized to be due to a hairline crack in the mic's solder. Google RMA-ed these devices, but the problem persisted in some replacement phones too, and a class action lawsuit was filed the following year. We now have word that Google has agreed to settle this lawsuit for $7,250,000 pending final court approval.
