OLED screen nightmare! Google Pixel 8 Pro’s screen reported to have a green line
Troubling Report Google Pixel 8 Pro's OLED Screen Plagued by Green Line Nightmare
【Mobile China News】Not long ago, Google officially launched its flagship new phone, Google Pixel 8 series. Although it is not sold in China, it has attracted a lot of attention overseas due to its first release with Android 14 and Google’s self-developed Tensor G3 chip. Moreover, the Pro version is priced at $999 (approximately 7298 yuan), which is not cheap. However, in recent days, foreign netizens have reported that their newly purchased Pixel 8 Pro has a screen green line issue.

From the pictures shared by this user, it is evident that there is a very clear green line on the right side of the phone screen. The user wrote on Reddit, “Thank God, I was in the store when this happened.” Although the image cannot directly prove that this phone is the Google Pixel 8 Pro, if you look at the reflection on the screen of this smartphone, it looks very similar to the Google Pixel 8 Pro with curved edges. When this green line appears, the phone seems to be in setup mode, with the page displaying “Welcome to your Pixel”.

- The 2023 Snapdragon Summit is scheduled for October 25-26! Xiaomi 14 series may start warming up.
- Huawei Mate60 brings the super reliable Xuanwu architecture, comprehensively leading the exploration and innovation of mobile phone reliability.
- Meizu 21 series release date accelerated! Chance to be released in January next year.
The user did not explain the cause behind the green line on their new Pixel 8 Pro in their post, but this situation has made potential buyers of the Pixel 8 Pro somewhat uneasy. The user mentioned that they obtained a new replacement from an offline store to address this issue. The green line problem is likely related to a hardware issue, which occurs when the display connector or the flexible circuit connecting the display and the motherboard becomes loose, damaged, or defective. It may cause irreversible damage to the screen with the green line.
Since 2018, this issue has first surfaced on devices using OLED and AMOLED screens, including smartphone brands like Samsung and OnePlus. As a solution, they either release a software update that partially addresses this issue or promise to provide lifelong screen warranty. It remains to be seen how Google will respond to this challenge.
