Several units of the Google Pixel 2 XL would have problems of "burning effect" on the screen

First of all, warn that this seems to be a specific problem in a series of devices that some users have who are testing the new Google devices, all before the official launch of the smartphone. It seems that we are facing a problem with certain units, but it is a vase of cold water for future buyers and more considering the severity of the problem.

When we talk about the burnt effect we do not mean that the terminals are physically burned. In this case the problem seems to be related to the terminal's OLED screen and not all users would have this failure or at least they have not reported it, but it is true that it is a serious problem for a device that will eventually arrive in our country.

For all those who do not know that this so-called "burnt effect" we can clarify that it is a problem that appears on OLED screens when a part of the screen shows the same image over a long period of time (a clock, a banana tree, a status bar, notifications, etc.) which causes the panel to show an image like the one we can see in the bottom tweet of Alex Dobie, an editor for Android Central:

Logically Google has already officially announced that it is investigating this 'burnt effect' that it has deteriorated the screens of several Google Pixel 2 XL models and it is expected that in the next few hours it will determine or pronounce on the matter. In any case, what seems obvious is that Google has a real headache with these new Pixel 2, since the criticism and bugs discovered even before these terminals are put on sale is really alarming.
