A new report has revealed that a small number of Google Pixel 5 units are suffering from an issue that is apparent with the first shipments of the smartphone. The users have found that there is a noticeable gap between the frame of the device and its display.
As per a GSMArena report, a few Pixel 5 units are suffering from this gap issue, which has also led to concerns regarding the smartphone’s IP68 water resistance rating. At the moment, only a small number of devices are affected by this issue, but it appears that additional reports have surfaced in the last couple of days. These have been found on Google’s official Pixel forums and even on other websites as well.

This gap has been found in multiple locations on the surface of the handset and is always between the seam between the screen and the frame. The most common area for the gap to appear is near the front facing camera, while other reports have also found it near the SIM Tray and along the top of the device as well. This issue is also more common on the Just Black color variant, although, Sorta Sage models are also being affected. 
Notably, the gap isn’t caused after the Google Pixel 5 is used, but rather, it is noticeable immediately out of the box. A possible explanation might be that the sealing process that had the display being stuck to the frame was not done with a correct amount of force or adhesive. However, that is just speculation, so take it with a pinch of salt. We will have to wait for an official statement from Google to know for sure, so stay tuned.
