Google says bumpy Pixel 8 screens are nothing to worry about — Display ‘bumps’ are components pushing into the OLED panel::undefined
Pay no attention to our bad engineering.
Sooo… don’t buy a Pixel 8 because of a design flaw is what I’m hearing? Thanks for responding, Google.
“no functional impact”? We clearly have very different ideas about the function of a display.
It’s always something with Google, isn’t it?
Don’t worry about those bumps in your hood. It’s just engine parts pushing into the sheet metal.
But I want a perfect hood
WE SAID DON’T WORRY ABOUT IT
Pixel 8, now with permanent braille
The “puncture marks” shown in the article are caused by some sort of grounding connectors/lever thingies, most likely for the capacitive touchscreen. So they aren’t some random “components” poking through.
Bumps the size of those shown are pretty obviously a defect, because it distorts the image in a way that can not be reasonably expected for such a product, even if it’s only visible for a very keen eye, it can be returned by the customer under warranty.
If Google should try to refute that, they will almost for sure lose any claims decision under EU or comparable law.deleted
Phones are such a shitshow today. I feel like they are dreaming up gimmicks just to sell something new, when all along the conventional design was just fine.
And stop anti-innovating. Give us back our SD slot and headphone jacks!
My first communicator had an SD slot and a miniSD slot. This made copying photos from SD to SD harder than necessary, so I hoped it’d get better with time.
Now, because of sPaCe CoNcErNs I don’t even get to have any card slot in my 14" laptop (only in my 10"one) a headphones jack in my 8" phone (only in my 3.5" one).
“Nooo, it will never break on the pressure points. It won’t wear-out faster. We promise.”
