I can no longer make calls due to this critical software issue that seems to be a fairly common issue based on threads on Google support

If you do, I HIGHLY recommend getting a protection plan that covers software issues and will replace phone

This phone had no visible defects or scratches, no software issues, and it worked well, (for about 1.5 years) until this week, when it started boot looping.

I won't complain much about the battery life as it is fine for a 2016 model phone and it did last me a 6hr road trip with minimal charging and heavy usage
