Complaints of a less vibrant display than the previous generation Pixel have prompted Google to state that it may add more color options for users in a future update. The company said it targeted a more neutral and realistic panel this time around, rather than the heavy saturation usually associated with OLED displays. However, those haven’t been the only complaints levelled at the Pixel 2 XL’s display. A few reports of a “grainy” or blotchy image in very low light conditions have surfaced, along with a blue tint that can be noticed when looking at the phone off-angle. Other complaints have also suggested that the handset might suffer from uneven color distribution. Sadly, for Google and all of us, the Pixel 2 XL screen is the cause of the issues. One of the problems is, in my opinion, unacceptable for an expensive flagship. More in link [link to youtu.be (secure)] $850 sorry google but that is Gaming PC price territory. I aint going to fall for that, for a cellphone that lasts what 3 yrs? max? and that has the storage space of something out of the early 2000s fuck that. Its not a computer its just a cellphone, i have one its worth about £50 and it has a color screen as well, 1080p as well, does all that android stuff, apps, internet, video camera etc etc, heck it even plays movies, radio, GPS sat nav... everything i want it to do. Sony Xperia Z. first generation. not new. |

Not even a little bit sorry about it. The Google Pixel series does look promising though. It was just bone headed not to make the screen a priority on the new one.

Uncle Fuck Stick (OP) User ID: 73099587 United States 10/23/2017 07:40 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Re: Google bombs with their newest phone....$850 for a phone with a horrible screen..UPDATE NOW PEOPLE REPORT SCREEN BURN IN AFTER JUST DAYS OF USE [link to www.theverge.com (secure)] Over the weekend, people with review units of the Pixel 2 XL began noticing a problem. No, not the already-known issues of muddy color and grainy textures when viewed in low-light, but one that’s potentially more worrisome: screen burn-in. First reported on Twitter by Android Central’s Alex Dobie, multiple people have noticed that when you look at the screen with a gray background, you can see faint outlines of the phone’s navigation buttons on the bottom. You can see it below, and I can confirm I’m seeing something similar on my own review unit.

The display is complete garbage. Strange blue tint when turning the phone to the side, very dull washed out colors and weird grainyness. I kept it for 24 hours and sent it back to Google for a refund. |
