Pixel 2 XL screen produces a bright flash when locking or unlocking the phone

09 November 2017
This could be related to the Ambient display feature. Google has offered no fix yet.

      I feel bad for google. Apple went with Samsung for their oled screens so google decided to go with LG and now they are paying for it.

          Every day I see there is something wrong with this phone lmao
          Good thing I'm not interested in phones that lack SD card slot and 3.5mm jack.
          By the way, don't they test these phones? I mean a tests will totally reveal oled burnins and stuf like this.

                  Lately it feels like just Pixel 2XL and iPhone X mostly, with a few Note 8 in between.

                      From 2018 common stereotype will be Cheap Americans instead of cheap Chinese. I really appreciate how Chinese companies have emerged in last few years and are now dominating electronics industry. Just look at xiaomi, Huawei, one plus etc. Asians companies almost own whole cellphone industry. What Google and apple has is mostly software. Hardware is all Asian. Western companies need to get their shit together.

                        You should never buy a phone today based on the promise of a software tomorrow. And make no mistake: I do not believe that Google’s software changes are going to alter the bad experience of this screen

                            I like this latest Pixel related news FLASH. Personally, I think if you're going to charge $1,000 for a phone, it shouldn't be so problematic.

                              Well it has already one of the best photography cameras ever made on a phone and Google has not even enabled the dedicated image chip yet so it's about to get even better. Apple has also published an official media release stating x has similar hue on angles to pixel etc but has received none of this site added bias.

                                Nice issue GSMArena is going to report is: Pixel 2 XL sleep talks!

                                  How many times do the public need to be informed? Google phones are just beta/prototype devices for Android testing. They are not meant for average consumers. Don't buy them unless you're a developer because you are going to be flooded with bugs, defects and abnormalities.

                                    LG superfan, 09 Nov 2017Its a great phone only ruined by screen issues google shoul... moreScreen issues, sound issues, limitations.
