A specific YouTube video is causing some Pixel phones to crash, as reported by Android Authority<\/em><\/a>. When those who are affected by the problem try to watch the video, their phone instantly reboots. Some, including Android Authority<\/em>, have also said their phones present cellular network issues afterward. (Android Authority<\/em> said those issues were fixed after another reboot.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n In a Reddit thread<\/a>, some users report running into the issue with their Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro, Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, and Pixel 6A phones, and one Verge<\/em> staffer\u2019s Pixel 6 crashed when they tried to watch the video. However, the issue doesn\u2019t seem to be affecting everyone; Android expert Mishaal Rahman says it didn\u2019t crash his Pixel 6 Pro<\/a>, while others in the Reddit thread say their Pixels can watch the video as well.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The video itself, which is two years old, is a scene from the classic sci-fi horror film Alien<\/em> that\u2019s available in 4K HDR. While we don\u2019t recommend watching it if you\u2019re on one of the potentially affected phones<\/strong>, here is the link to the video<\/a>. It\u2019s unclear what\u2019s causing the crash, and we\u2019ve reached out to Google for comment. However, some have speculated it comes down to the way the Pixels handle color, which is what apparently caused a certain wallpaper to crash some Android phones<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
