I see all the blacked-out sections of the 6P settlement filing and I’m left with so many questions. Phones are complex, lesson learned-end of story?

LG similarly settled a separate class action involving bootlooping phones, including the Nexus 5X. Another friend got a $400 check and turned it into a cool gravel bike. Less than a month ago, three years after their 6P lost the will to live, my friend received a check for $400 from Google and the 6P’s manufacturer, Huawei, through a class action lawsuit settlement. They are still quite irked about the whole saga. Later on, they would trade in a replacement 6P for $113 toward a new Pixel 2. They bought a $200 Moto G4 at a store in Union Square to get through the trip. I tried to help over speakerphone from the driver’s phone, but none of the usual power/volume-button/safe-mode tricks worked. The 6P froze, rebooted, displayed the Google logo, then rebooted dozens and dozens of times, offering no clue what was wrong. My friend’s Nexus 6P died while acting as navigator and DJ on a road trip from upstate New York to Manhattan in February 2017.
