Burn in on sides of the notch?

That's the first phone I've seen with that ability (I've seen them with various presets, but not true calibration abilities). If they can fix the burn in risk, then there may be hope for AMOLED yet.

It works beautifully. On my PC's I plug the i1 Display Pro in to the USB port, place the i1 Display Pro on the screen, and run the Pantone calibration application.

On my phone it works the same way. I plug the i1 Display pro in the the Pixel (using the USB to USB C adapter the Pixel includes in the box), run the "Color TRUE" app and it goes through the same calibration steps that it does on my PC monitors and creates the calibration file that the phone uses to set colors.

Being an avid photographer, I need to know that all my screens are always color calibrated correctly. I calibrate all my screens once a month.

I also have burn in on both sides of the notch....

How did you check to see if you have burn in?

I have an LG OLED TV that has been running 12 hours a day for over 3 years with no sign of burn-in!

I have had plenty of OLED devices and burn in has never been an issue to me. May be I just don't look for it I guess. Happy with OLED on all my devices and will take it any day over LCD. And no issues on my 3 XL as well.

Completely different situation, because the pixels are constantly changing on tv's. That's the reason station logo identifiers became translucent many years ago, because they were causing burn in on tube style tv's. If you used that tv to view static images (as often happens on phones), then you'd likely get burn in. There's lots of reports on this issue with OLED tv's already, and this is just one of the more interesting ones I found. Namely because LG themselves made the call to switch back to LCD in this case.

Quality control fail.

Totally incorrect speculation. Burn-in can happen to any OLED screen
