Methodology v1.0
1 change(s): 1 moderate | Durability score reflects significant recurring issues reported by users: thermal/overheating problems (mentioned in multiple reviews, with users reporting glue burning after 1.5+ years), rapid battery degradation during thermal stress, fingerprint sensor failures (one user reported switching after 3 years of poor performance), charging port failures, and background app killing. Material quality score reflects mixed build quality with thermal management concerns and port durability issues. Brand reputation signal reflects Google's generally positive standing but tempered by documented thermal design issues, fingerprint sensor problems across multiple users, and lack of video output capability that users describe as making the phone 'incomplete.'
