Pixel 9a acting up

Recently received my 9a. I was a long time Nexus user and loved them. Also HTC back in the EVO days and always loved Android as a hobby. And then went to Apple for a few years before picking up the 9a. Mainly because as I've gotten older and wiser with money, I love the idea of getting everything that's important to me with this phone and saving on the things that aren't so important to me like the top of the line camera. That being said... I'm noticing a lot of little glitches that I've never ran into before. For instance... I'm getting promoted to set things up that are already setup as if it's my first time on the phone. Chrome wants to randomly close itself. Notification linger on the screen even though I close them (the panel like shrinks and scrambles). The speaker almost sounds like it's blown. anybody else experiencing little bugs? I find it almost impossible that I have faulty hardware.
