Google will always say “bah humbug” and move on as though nothing happened.
Correction: “Not OUR Problem”
Consumer law is a thing
And it will be cheaper for them to say it’s not a problem than it is to recall.
They already have your money. From what I’ve heard about statistics, most people don’t return defect products.
I got a Pixel 8 Pro, luckely no bumps on it but it would have been sendt back instantly if it had any.
For the price i gave for it i expect there to be NOTHING wrong with it from the start!
“You’re holding it wrong.”
And that is why I sold my Pixel Fold. Jesus Christ Google.
I’m glad I decided to stick with Motorola and not try pixel devices…why so many quality issues? Samsung doesn’t have stuff like this. Neither does Motorola, OnePlus, Xiaomi, Sony, etc…
Basing quality issues on headlines is not ideal. Samsung and those others have other quality issues as well that Google doesn’t. Lemons exist, but it would be wise for Google and others to acknowledge them and resolve it.
“This is still an upgrade compared to the P6, you people should be grateful”
“Stop being so negative, at least it’s not a curved display”
“They’ll fix this with software”
They’re not even in Apple’s position yet but they’re already acting like Apple.
Pixelbros are the tankies of the Android hw community
You’re looking at it wrong.
Google can do no wrong. Just like their modems used in Pixel 6 and 7 series that caused major signal issues for many.
That phone (P6P) is the reason I changed to iPhone after over a decade of faithful Android use
“It’s not a bug, it’s a feature!”
The bumps appear to be coming from the little metal tensioning tabs pressing against the back of the screen through the copper heat transfer tape a little too hard.

iPhone 15 has these tabs but only on the reinforced edges of the frame and Samsung doesn’t use them at all for Galaxy S series
Bizarre design choice from Google to have the tabs press directly into the back of the screen…
bizarre hardware choice from Google? say it ain’t so
Does this effect all models? I just got my 8. This would explain the issues some people were having with screen protectors.
I feel like something like this happens with every generation of Pixels
“Folks, it’s a feature.” -some Google employee maybe-
Google Pixel not being a dumpster fire of a smartphone challenge: impossible
only on 8, not on 8 Pro? About to grab one 8 Pro
