Sooo... don't buy a Pixel 8 because of a design flaw is what I'm hearing? Thanks for responding, Google.

"no functional impact"? We clearly have very different ideas about the function of a display.

It's always something with Google, isn't it?

Pixel 8, now with permanent braille

The "puncture marks" shown in the article are caused by some sort of grounding connectors/lever thingies, most likely for the capacitive touchscreen. So they aren't some random "components" poking through.

Bumps the size of those shown are pretty obviously a defect, because it distorts the image in a way that can not be reasonably expected for such a product, even if it's only visible for a very keen eye, it can be returned by the customer under warranty.
If Google should try to refute that, they will almost for sure lose any claims decision under EU or comparable law.

Pay no attention to our bad engineering.

Don't worry about those bumps in your hood. It's just engine parts pushing into the sheet metal.

But I want a perfect hood

WE SAID DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT
