Google plans to fix the Pixel 6 screen flickering later this year

Here at Phandroid, we’re still working on running the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro through their paces before posting our full review, but there is one issue that seems to be plaguing quite a few users out there. Some Pixel 6 Pro owners on Reddit have started noticing a weird screen flickering issue when their phones are turned off and the power button is pressed. It looks as though there’s some type of static discharge taking place, but the bulk of affected users seem to be 6 Pro owners.

When the issues began appearing, many Pixel fans started getting frustrated as it seems that there is something “wrong” with every new Pixel phone. And while that trend technically is continuing, it doesn’t appear to be a hardware-specific defect. Instead, an official response has been posted to the Pixel Phone Help Forums, stating that an official fix will be arriving with a software update in December.
