Based on a 2017 lawsuit, Google will pay Pixel owners who experienced problems with their phone’s microphone up to $500 each. The lawsuit alleged that Google intentionally sold Pixel phones with microphone issues, but Google claimed it affected less than 1% of Pixel phones. The phones had a hairline crack in the solder connection on the audio codec. The amount the phone owners will be paid is based on the number of failures they experienced and whether they reported the audio defect.
