Is your Pixel 4 or 4 XL Paint peeling, chipping.

Mine still looks perfect. No case just skin.

Sorry to see this OP. I have seen this reported across the web. It's just another reason I'm holding on to my 3 XL. At this point, it's pixel 5 time. Google better get their act together. Tough competition out there.

Dont feel too bad fellas, at least your didn't start coming off 3 days after you received it brand new from the Google store ......... already spoke with Google and I'm still within my 15 days of purchase so they are sending me a replacement as we speak and they claim they will notate my account that if this happens again I can get the warranty on it. They also claim that the newer batches for 2020 don't have this issue anymore, we shall see lol

Devil's advocate but I see this as normal wear and tear. :/

 

[Tasuki]

Yeah lol normal wear and tear my backside after 3 days new..... Thanks Google!

To me that's a flaw in the paint process they do . Never experienced that on my other phones this early on .

I think it's more like they will say it's normal wear and tear but it's much too early and too often for that to be true.

Bad metal or bad process. You think it's a sprayed coating?

Well it sounds to me that from what you've said they've acknowledged the issue :O maybe they should start taking care of the problem before folks start talking with their wallets. It's a good thing Google has money to throw around on low selling projects like the pixel line, because a small part of me wonders how much longer they'll continue to sell pixels.

I love that they come out and almost immediately drop hundreds of dollars in price just to get them off the shelf... awesome for us pixel fans, but can't be a very lucrative business venture for Google lol.

I get the impression that the Pixel is just an accent to their brand.

I had something similar happen to my 3XL but so far so good with my 4XL.

mine is flawless. Rock mine with no case but I did install a Zagg Invisible Shield screen protector.

Well, it is happening to mine. Only 3 months in. Always in a case (Spigen liquid air ase). Took it out of the case 2 days ago and noticed the peeling on the back of the upper left side and lower right side. Where the black meets the back white side of the phone. Sucks for resale value. Really sucks.
