Google Pixel 6 units suffer from odd Dark Circles on their display

The Google Pixel 6 series was launched back in 2021 and saw many praises across the board. However, the device suffered from various software related issues soon after that turned away many buyers. While most of these were fixed soon after, it appears that some Pixel 6 units are now facing a mysterious hardware issue too now.

As per a few Reddit users, the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro models are facing an odd issue that affects the display of these devices. One of the Pixel 6 series users stated that the Pixel 6 Pro had a dark circle or spot on the display. This issue is not an isolated incident, since other Redditors also claimed that they have also seen a mysterious spot on their Pixel series models as well. Although, this dark circle is typically only visible from an angle and not when you’re directly viewing at the screen straight on.

Furthermore, it is not noticeable when the display is turned on. So it doesn’t affect the user experience directly. As per some of the users, these spots might have been created by air or some moisture trapped under the glass of the display panel. One Redditor stated that “My wife has something similar on her P6. I read somewhere citric acid can damage the screen coating. She had been making a lemon cake a few hours before we spotted it, so I’d say there is a good chance that was it.”

One Pixel 6 owner claimed that this Pixel 6 had around 12 little spots on his phone’s screen. While another stated that “I got two spots too, and I know what is in my case, I vape, I saw how a drop of liquid fell on the screen and left the stain, it seems that the oil protector of the screen is bad.” It remains to be seen if its the fault of the users, or whether its some other form of hardware defect that surfaces over time.

Google has guaranteed Pixel users up to 5 years of continuous monthly security patches. Keeping to its word, Google has released the November security patch for the Pixel 7 family. The Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro smartphones have both begun to receive the newest security patch update. It’s a minor update with a few bug fixes sprinkled throughout. The update’s primary goal is to extend the battery life of the devices.

The Pixel 6 series also received the security patch update. The Pixel 7 lineup will receive “optimizations for display power consumption to improve thermal performance in certain scenarios,” while on the other hand, last year’s Pixels will receive a “fix for an issue causing excessive power consumption while certain apps are loaded.”

Here’s the complete changelog for the update:

Latest Google Pixel 6 marketing renders are easily one of the most satisfying leaks ever

The Google Pixel 6 series is all set to make its debut on October 19 and the latest leaked renders have now given us a deeper insight into them than ever before. They’ve been leaked by none other than Evan Blass and appear to be official promotional images. They give us a glimpse into the series’ fabric case options and the new design of the second-generation Pixel Stand wireless charger.

The fabric cases seemingly have a soft squishy exterior and a hard plastic interior. They will offer protection to the camera bump and sport Google‘s familiar “G” logo.

The new Pixel Stand looks like it has gotten a bump in size, likely due to the overall larger Pixels this year, and has a curved rear frame with a non-circular base. It also seems to incorporate a fan system to boost heat dissipation. The UI that shows up on the phone when it’s placed on the Stand has been updated to show media controls and smart home device controls in a grid. There are also shortcuts to toggle performance mode and quiet mode at the bottom.

Another upgrade over last year’s Stand is in terms of its charging speed with support for up to 23W. Obviously, the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro should also be coming with at least 23W wireless charging support. While the speed is no match for most of the Chinese devices with wireless charging support, it does eclipse the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra and Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max.

Next up is the star of the upcoming October event – the Pixel 6 series, of course. While we already know all that the devices will be offering, the leaks do drop a couple of new cues about its software – a new Live Space widget with a flight card and the addition of a new Pixel Security app. We also get to see the various new and colorful wallpapers Google has added.

The new promotional images further solidify the fact that the Google Pixel 6 will be settling with a dual shooter system, thus ditching one of the cameras from its Pro variant’s 50 + 12 + 48MP triple camera configuration.
