The Google Pixel 2 XL has a potentially serious problem with its OLED display

24. 10. 2017

Google has to deal with a rather serious problem that appeared with their flagship named Pixel 2 XL. The phone has only been on sale for a few days, but already a rather serious problem has appeared, which is connected to the OLED display, which is found in both models. A foreign reviewer complained on Twitter that after just a few days of use, traces of static UI dots burning into the display panel were starting to appear on the screen. If this is confirmed to be a more widespread problem, it could be a pretty big deal for Google.

For now, it should be taken into account that this is one reported case, which unfortunately happened to the reviewer, so the word spread quite quickly. Alex Dobie, who is the editor of the popular website, came up with the information androidcentral.com and the whole problem was described in more detail in this article. He noticed the display burning only in the XL model. A smaller model that uses the same amount of time has no signs of burn-in, even though it also has an OLED panel. The author noted the burning of the lower bar, on which there are three software buttons. According to him, this is one of the most serious cases of burning that he has encountered recently. Especially with flagships, where manufacturers should be careful about this.

Burning OLED panels is one of the biggest fears that future owners of the iPhone X are also afraid of. It is also supposed to have a panel with this technology, and many people are very curious about how Apple dealt with this problem. In this case, it will also mainly concern static elements of the user interface, such as the top bar, in this case divided by the display cutout, or longer-term static icons on the phone's desktop.
