I’ve been utilizing Pixel telephones for practically half a decade now, beginning with the Pixel 3a. Through the years I’ve grown to tremendously admire Google’s personal imaginative and prescient for Android {hardware}, because of options just like the clear OS and spectacular cameras. On the identical time although, I’ve to confess that the Pixel line isn’t good, particularly in relation to {hardware} defects.
That’s to not say that I’ve skilled stuff like faulty OLED panels, extreme overheating, and such. Aside from wi-fi sign points on the Pixel 6, my journey with Google’s Android {hardware} line has been largely clean crusing. That’s, till now.
Simply a few days after receiving my Pixel 9 Professional XL, I seen a difficulty with the cellphone’s display screen. There have been just a few situations when the display screen would flash a white horizontal line (close to the place the ability button was) for a split-second after I turned off the cellphone’s show. Whereas I initially considered it as a one-time software program hiccup, it repeated itself half a dozen occasions all through the day, and a reboot has seemingly failed to handle the problem.

I used to be then prompted to do a fast search throughout totally different web boards and websites if every other Pixel 9 Professional homeowners have bumped into comparable points, and whereas people with older units just like the Pixel 8 and seven sequence telephones have complained of everlasting traces on their show, no different Pixel 9 customers have skilled the problem that I used to be having. I additionally seen that it normally occurred when my cellphone was on low brightness settings, though this solely opens up extra questions. An try to copy and movie the problem in motion proved futile because it occurred quite randomly.
I’m not saying that that is going to be a widespread difficulty, as to take action would trigger pointless panic with inadequate information aside from anecdotal proof.
Based mostly on easy remark – and to unashamedly reference “Occam’s Razor” – the most probably case is that I merely have a nasty unit. I’m not saying that that is going to be a widespread difficulty, as to take action would trigger pointless panic with inadequate information aside from anecdotal proof. It’s additionally unlikely that this can be as widespread because the Pixel 7’s digicam glass cracking or buttons falling off, and once more is a straightforward case of a lemon in my possession.
However, it also needs to be thought of that the Pixel 9 and Professional XL have solely been in the marketplace for plenty of days, so every other potential defects are in all probability nonetheless in hiding, though I’m hoping that this isn’t the case with different folks’s models.
