Supposedly Google doesn't buy this phone because the first ever Google Pixel phone has a major perk. Free unlimited cloud storage forever. So you're saying transfer my photos and videos to old phone and then upload photos from there to pay for cloud storage. There's only one way out. Sold me this phone told me turned it on since 2020. Probably just needs a battery. But this is the actual battery that I had to order. Size difference. Nice though. Google did not make it easy to replace the battery. So first we need some heat on the screen. Now this has to come out. I finally got. We're gonna put everything back together and hope and hope that it works. Even though the new battery is in there, I think I damaged the display. It's not turning on. Some alcohol that I used to loosen it got underneath the display. I'll order a new screen as soon as possible, but we're not gonna get my free unlimited cloud storage forever.
