Screen issues are seriously over hyped.

Reality Check: The Pixel 2 XL’s Screen Problems Are Overhyped

That post was doing well until it tries to dismiss the burn in as image retention. Some cases of it may be, but others are definitely burn in. The 2xl I had always showed the nav bar, regardless if it was just restarted or had been turned off, which points clearly to burn in.

Whether it’s overhyped or not isn’t even the issue. Of course media overhypes everything. Most people complaining just don’t like the duller colors and don’t want to play lottery with burn in/image retention issues.

Dude I've owned every Google device since the Nexus One, so you might not want to go there because it will end badly for you. The 6P was a garbage device that was a mistake for Google. It was a ticking time bomb with subpar hardware because of Google choosing Huawei to make it, and as we saw, there were some major reliability issues. The Nexus 6 was a great device minus some screen wonkiness and that afforementioned terrible camera. Besides the 6P, I've loved every device Google has ever slapped it's logo on. I liked the 2XL too, but for the $1000 I was paying, burn in was too much of an issue. As I said in one of the prior threads, I will revisit the 2XL in a couple months when the issues are ironed out. So please, don't try and lecture me.

I wholeheartedly agree that the Nexus 6P was crap. Between the bending ( I was careful and didn't bend it ),bluetooth issues, battery issues and whatever else I can remember it definitely soured me on Huawei not so much Google though

Unless you're a screen expert, you are as credible as the reviewer.

You still have to open the nav bar to get to the grey screen to test for image retention

How is the screen grain at minimal brightness and white background? I remember Galaxy Nexus and it was almost unusable due to grain

Over hyped? Yes, but when combined with over priced, they do invite criticism some what. I still think the 2xl will be my next phone but £800 ??? My trouble is there is just no other phone that floats my boat at the moment.

ive had the phone a day, i never notice hte blue screen unless I tilt the phone and look for it period

I do notice the muted colors though

either way the blue isnt a serious problem to me in anyway

No you don't. It's visible on the home screen and app drawer.

Also, questioning the credibility of reviewers simply because you disagree with them is asinine.

The criticism is fair IMO. I'm just surprised by how it triggers some people.

You have no credentials to diagnose other peoples' phone issues as "burn in". Also, you definition of asinine is, to put simply, asinine.

Yeah, fortunately I don’t need credentials to say something looks crappy
