Is the battery swollen?

Does the phone or battery look at all bulged? If so then this is a sign of a swollen battery and this is very bad.

I recently went through a round of swollen batterywith a tablet. I was able to replace the battery with no problems but I just took a close look at my Pixel 2 and I am not happy to see that the screen is starting to bulge out. The Pixel 2 battery isn't really user replaceable (lots of glue that requires heat and volatile solvents), so I'm suddenly in the market for a new phone.

Be very wary of swollen batteries.
