Some look like the screw heads on the card mother which pierce it, others to the screen itself which bends along the glass. the edge (long). Funny enough, I don&#8217;t see this often when I use the phone but only when it there is only one light source in the room and looking at that light source using the phone.<\/div>\n<div>The Reddit subscriber not only included a few photos showing the problem, he also uploaded a YouTube <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/wikidollar.net\/tag\/video\/\"   title=\"video\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">video<\/a> showing the problem with his computer screen. <span>Pixel 8<\/span>.

These indents can only be seen at specific angles under light, so look closely, but my main concern is the development of potential long-term damage &#8211; and this poor quality control for a premium phone is unacceptable.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div>\n<div id=\"gallery-8db6aa8f-64f9-4683-8a8b-4edd5d6a3441\" class=\"single-image-container  image-c\" style=\"width:1715px;max-width:100%\">\n<div class=\"gallery-item\">\n<picture style=\"padding-top: 49.620991253644%\"><source media=\"(max-width: 350px)\" ><source media=\"(min-width: 351px) and (max-width: 500px)\" ><source media=\"(min-width: 501px) and (max-width: 800px)\" ><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wikidollar.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Pixel-8-and-Pixel-8-Pro-users-are-finding-strange.jpg\" alt=\"One theory is that the screws used inside the phones are pushed towards the affected screens.
