Google investigating reports of Pixel 2 XL screen 'burn-in'
Google is investigating reports the screens of its new Pixel 2 XL smartphones are showing 'burn-in' after only a few weeks of use.
Screen burn-in is a permanent discolouration of a display which can be caused by issues with the light-emitting diodes or the glass itself. Images posted on Twitter by Android blogger Justin Duino appear to show signs of discolouration when the device is turned off: Other users of Twitter also responded with images of their stained devices. The issue does not seem to be affecting the smaller of Google's new devices, the Pixel 2. A Google spokesperson told Sky News the company was investigating the reports, and said that the screens for the Pixel phones used new POLED technology, with a plastic base layer rather than glass. "We put all of our products through extensive quality testing before launch and in the manufacturing of every unit. We are actively investigating this report," the spokesperson said. The claims about the smartphones follow a software bug in Google's Home Mini smart speaker which left devices recording everything, almost constantly, and transmitting those recordings to Google's servers. |

I've had one for a little over a week and it's been a good phone so far. I really like stock Android and fast updates. You buy a Pixel for software and a Samsung for hardware in the Android space.
