Pixel 2 XL P-OLED Burn In Test (Most likely image retention) 

Shane Milton thanks man - a lot of assumptions and misinformation going around. I love the phone so far.

I have the Pixel 1 XL and the same thing happened to me after a month also. It also has not gotten any worse and you can only see it when the scree goes black. Otherwise, I see nothing, even when the phone is locked.

My original Pixel XL has really bad image burn. I am actually sending it back to Google for a replacement, cause it's really bad, and seems to be getting worse. I also have the new Pixel 2 XL and I will be very sad if it starts to burn as well. I have already noticed the bar across the bottom, but then again I may be obsessing and imagining it. On the other hand, the only time I don't see the navigation bars on my OG Pixel is when the back bars are showing and cover it up. I can also see crystal clear the top status bar, and the round circle from my alarm clock snooze!

Christopher Linna did you send it back I have my replacement pixel for two days now and I'm just waiting what happens

peter bombala I did send it back and got it replaced. I do have the pixel 2 XL that has some screen burn in that happened after a couple days sadly. I haven't sent that back yet, cause it isn't so bad that it bothers me yet

Christopher Linna the same I can see it after 2 days . I'm going to send it back and ask for a refund

It is Samsung panel

I am using the Caseology Parralax case - its my favorite case and it goes on every phone I purchase. Find it here : www.amazon.com/Google-Caseology-Parallax-Protective-Geometric/dp/B075RRSMFV/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1508866066&sr=8-2-spons&keywords=pixel+2+xl+caseology&psc=1

what about that screen protector?

But what are you using for your screen protector?

John Uythoven Caseology Parralax , my fav case.

I ordered the Otterbox Defender, but this case looks like it might be a little thinner. What is the screen protector? Looks like it is tempered and curved. Any problems with touch?

haha - the screen protector is from Amazon. A company named AMFilm - it works fine for me currently and I don't have any major issues with it and it works well with the case that I have. The only minor thing is probably my fault when applying it as I got a little bit of dust underneath it while applying and wiped it off the bottom side of the screen protector before applying. Due to that their is a slight area where the screen protector isn't completely flush with the glass and I can see a kind of rainbow effect, but only if I am in direct sunlight. Other than that is is perfectly fine and gets the job done. It was also very easy to apply. Thanks again and I would really appreciate a sub as I am looking to potentially start doing regular tech reviews/videos. Please see below for my previous post with links to the screen protector I used and the screen protector I have pre-ordered that I am anticipating will be even better quality but is currently not released yet. See below: the screen protector is this one : www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075WW69PS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It doesn't have the greatest of reviews, but I found it to be perfectly fine to do the job now while we wait for better options. I already have this one on pre-order: www.powersupportintl.com/3d-tempered-glass-for-pixel-2-xl/ This is on the Google Store and is certified by Made by Google. It is pricey, but I have to imagine its quality if google is selling it on their store. You cannot pre-order directly from Google store at this time so I went ahead and ordered from the manufacturer directly. For those who want to order from Google, here is the link : store.google.com/product/brilliant_tempered_glass

turn the video up to 4K resolution and find a 4K screen to watch it on LOL. I agree though that RU-vid compression can be really annoying in terms of slighly lowering the quality and creating weird artifacts in the video.

You wrong my a5 2015 with 720p display have no issue about burn-in , just yellowish bcz the blue pixel isnt good anymore ( 3 years and still i cant find so much different with 1080p panel on other phone ) .
