When it comes to the question of whether you're covered or not when it comes to the screen, the bottom line -- so far -- is "maybe."It's not surprising that Google wouldn't want to own up to any problems with the Pixel 2 XL, particularly if they turned out to be limited to a small batch of devices. Google CEO Sundar Pichai has made a massive investment in consumer hardware, creating a dedicated hardware division last year and pouring more than a billion dollars into hiring HTC engineers to bolster its Pixel operation this September. The search giant has been trying to position itself as more than just a software company, but also as a lifestyle brand that makes devices you'd want to put in your home or your pocket.

So any hits to the reputation and quality of its flagship phone -- which is the target of a major advertising blitz -- may be a blow to Google, especially as it heads into the all-important holiday shopping season and tries to woo people away from Apple's iPhone X and Samsung's Galaxy Note 8, Here's where things stand, Here's the encouraging news: Google is now officially willing to consider burn-in and other screen issues as potentially eligible for warranty support, "We're very confident that Pixel delivers an exceptional smartphone experience, and if any customers experience defects, including burn in, they should contact customer support for a resolution," the company told CNET, "All warranty requests are evaluated on a case-by-case basis, and our two-year warranty covers a number of areas, including display-related defects."CNET editor Dan Graziano couldn't get his Huawei-built Nexus 6P replaced because he bought it from Best Buy instead of a Google olixar meshtex iphone xs case - rose gold Store, But Google says it backs its newer Pixel phones regardless of where you purchase..

Google also says the warranty applies no matter where you buy the phone, so you don't have to fight with your cellular carrier or big box store to get support. Just contact Google's customer support. Now, here's the confusing bit: Google still doesn't believe any of the screen issues it's seen so far -- both internally and floating around the web -- qualify as a defect. Unless your phone has an unusually problematic screen, that warranty may still not apply. "Google has given itself considerable latitude to interpret the terms of its own warranty," says Adam Polk, an attorney with the law firm of Girard Gibbs in San Francisco who's exploring a potential class action around the Pixel 2 phones. "The warranty extension moves this problem to the back burner, but there is nothing in writing committing Google to stand by this product if burn-in becomes an issue in the future."So that's why the "maybe" stands.

According to Google, the crux of the matter is this: all phones that use vibrant, high-end OLED displays can potentially suffer from burn-in, Users have had this concern with rival phones as well, olixar meshtex iphone xs case - rose gold But Google's Queiroz and Chau said Monday that the Pixel 2 XL doesn't suffer more than most, and importantly, that those afterimages aren't visible during normal use, For instance, several reviewers and Pixel 2 XL claimed the Pixel 2 XL's navigation bar may leave ghostly images of the Home, Back and Recents buttons carved into the screen, (CNET found the problem in 2 out of the 5 phones we tested.) Google makes an important point about that: it's not generally possible to see the image of those buttons burned into the screen because the navigation bar usually covers that region..

Here's the burn-in we saw on our Pixel 2 XL review unit when viewing a grey color swatch at full resolution. As far as Google's concerned, this level of burn-in would not qualify as a defect, because it doesn't show up under normal circumstances. (In other words, you'd have to make the navigation bar vanish before you could see the issue -- say, by viewing a solid grey image that takes up the entire screen. Not exactly normal.). To qualify as a defect, a Google exec said the burn-in would need to affect a buyer's normal day-to-day use of the phone. You'd need to see it without testing for it.
