users are reporting a durability issue with the Google Pixel 9 Pro The

reached out to Google for comment 

User reports indicate that the Google Pixel 9 Pro may have a design flaw 
relating to the iconic camera bar mounted on its rear panel. 

Multiple users have reported issues and durability concerns over the Google 
Pixel 9 Pros camera bar, which in the most extreme cases is literally peeling 
away from the rest of the phone. 

In a now-deleted post to r/pixel_phones, Reddit user MohiFlaz shared images 
that clearly show the Pixel 9 Pro camera bar separating from the phones 
chassis. 

 PhoneArena recounts that MohiFlaz stated in the original post that they had 
been careful with the phone, never dropping it and keeping it in a case with 
a screen protector since hour one of ownership. Reddit user MohiFlaz's Google

The poster also said that they had contacted Google for support, but had been 
offered no help due to the phone being more than 90 days old. 

This seems to contradict Googles own one-year limited warranty, which covers 
defective units for repair or replacement beyond the initial 15-day return 
window, a response which has garnered significant criticism online. 

MohiFlaz has seemingly since deleted their Reddit account. Not the first time 

As Android Central notes, this isnt the only time the r/pixel_phones 
subreddit has seen discourse about this issue. Back in October 2024, user 
lakhip shared a post, with images, detailing how the camera bar on their 
Google Pixel 9 Pro had begun to lift on the right side. Luckily, the user was 
able to get a replacement. 

Its worth remembering that complaints online typically represent a minority 
of users, and there's no suggestion that this issue is particularly 
widespread. 

In fact, we were so impressed by the Pixel 9 Pro during testing that we 
crowned it our phone of the year for 2024 and gave it a spot on our list of 
the best phones , which makes these reports of camera-bar breakage all the 
more concerning. 

Weve reached out to Google for comment on this issue and will update this 
article with any new information. Hopefully, this is just a bump in the road 
for one of the best Android phones on the market. You might also like Nothing
