Google’s new Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro have been getting all the attention lately. The new Pixel smartphones which launched last week have begun to ship to some owners. And while there is a lot to love about them, it appears they are not without issues as complaints have begun to surface.

There are a handful of complaints but all of them are related to the display which appears to be a recurring issue with Pixel phones. For those who don’t remember, there were complaints about the Pixel 5’s display.

The reports about the Pixel 6 series display include a flickering issue on the Pixel 6 Pro. According to a Reddit post, the display of the Pixel 6 Pro flickers when pressing the power button while the phone is off. This is not a one-off issue as the comments under the post confirm many other users are experiencing the same issue. While it doesn’t seem to be a big deal, there are concerns that it might be a precursor to a bigger issue.

Another user has complained about a green tint on the display of the Pixel 6. The Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro both use an OLED panel and this is not an uncommon issue associated with that type of display. Nevertheless, this issue can vary across the board, and depending on the severity, a replacement may be necessary.

Of all the complaints, the weirdest of them all is a second punch hole that has appeared on the Pixel 6 Pro, right below the first one. According to the user who shared a video on Twitter, this is not a damaged display but that the screen was punched twice. In the thread narrating the issue, he revealed he has had the phone swapped.

Google is yet to respond to these claims. The phones are just beginning to ship out today, so these are from those who have gotten their device early. Nevertheless, it is disappointing to see that Google still suffers from quality control issues.
