Soon after the Pixel 8 Pro was released, users noticed an issue with its always-on display. This issue caused text to appear discolored, often in a pink hue. Google has now confirmed that a solution for this problem is in the works and will be released soon. Many users who purchased the Pixel 8 Pro shortly after its release reported an issue with the always-on display. They observed that text on the display would sometimes appear discolored. The discoloration appears as a pink or yellow hue at the edges of the text. This problem did not occur when the display was fully lit. According to the reports, users usually notice this issue when Always on Display feature is in use.
Comments from Some Users with the Always-On-Display Issue
On Google’s Issue Tracker platform, many users came out to report on the same issue with the Always-on-Display of the Pixel 8 Pro. One user wrote:
Also on mine. Only really visible in dark at low AOD brightness, but then it’s very noticeable, at right and bottom especially. Considering how hard it’s to notice, It’s say this is much me prevalent than it would seem.
I am experiencing this same issue in the top left corner of my screen on a pixel 8 pro.
