Hello,

I've had a Nexus 6P since mid-November. Today, I noticed when my screen is in direct sunlight (whether it is on or off), I see a series of horizontal reflective lines across the screen (phone in portrait orientation). I am not sure whether this is new or I just noticed it.
Is this normal? My first assumption was that these are the touch sensor lines.

Also, I've noticed that when I am looking at a white (or light grey) background, sometimes I noticed blotches where it is not perfectly white. They aren't very visible, but they are more so when it is bright outside (i.e., they were much more visible on the bus in daylight than in my office). Is this normal?
 
The lines are normal. It's actually more of a grid. You're correct, it has to do with the digitizer.
 
I had a Sony Z3v before the 6p and believe me, its Digitizer lines in sunlight were way worse!
