    I bought the pixel8 on pre order and see no issues whatsoever. I don’t use it daily as I mostly use my iPhone. But I’ve used it quite a lot still.

    The bumps appear to be coming from the little metal tensioning tabs pressing against the back of the screen through the copper heat transfer tape a little too hard.

    iPhone 15 has these tabs but only on the reinforced edges of the frame and Samsung doesn’t use them at all for Galaxy S series

    Bizarre design choice from Google to have the tabs press directly into the back of the screen…

      lmao I had the Nexus 6P, best phone ever IMO, but thing died about a year after I got it from some CPU bug. Been dying to get a pixel ever since, but every one has had serious hardware issues, it’s really sad.

        Eh, I own the 6a- first pixel I’ve ever owned and it’s far and away the best phone I’ve ever owned. The software and user experience is so much better than apple and Samsung. I’m sold on the brand. Not sure if I’ll upgrade to the 8 or wait for the 9 so I can get a smaller pro.

    “This is still an upgrade compared to the P6, you people should be grateful”

    “Stop being so negative, at least it’s not a curved display”

    “They’ll fix this with software”
