Google Pixel 6 Pro users are complaining about a display flickering issue, which is more apparent when the phone is switched off and they press the power button. The search engine giant took the wraps off the Pixel 6 series smartphones last month. The newly launched Pixel flagship smartphones boast an impressive array of features, coupled with top-notch specifications. For instance, the Pixel 6 series packs the custom Tensor chip.
Moreover, Google’s Pixel 6 Pro sports a mammoth 6.7-inch OLED display that offers QHD+ resolution with a refresh rate of 120Hz. The brand’s most premium offering in the recent past went on sale in select markets including the US recently. Within a few days of hitting the store shelves, those who purchased the Pixel 6 Pro started complaining about a display flickering issue. Most users claim that the issue is particularly noticeable when the Pro Pixel smartphone is switched off and they press the power button.
Google Pixel 6 Pro Screen Flickering Issue
Last month, a Google Pixel 6 Pro bug that increases the size of the punch hole was detected. In an image shared by Twitter user @MarkSchrammVR, the Pixel 6 Pro smartphone’s single punch-hole seems to have an unusual extension, making the size of the punch-hole look larger. Now, a Reddit user has posted a clip showing the Google Pixel 6 Pro display flickering issue to their account. In the video, the screen is seen flickering with green lines when the user presses the power button.
