Google now not only acknowledges the bumps that some users noticed but also tries to reassure them that those bumps are nothing to worry about:
Pixel 8 phones have a new display. When the screen is turned off, not in use and in specific lighting conditions, some users may see impressions from components in the device that look like small bumps. There is no functional impact to Pixel 8 performance or durability.
For instance, here’s one photo from Google’s official Pixel forums:
Fuck just bought one. Where should I be looking in that photo? Can’t see it tbh
There are two that I circled here:
It’s very possible that you won’t have them and it’s going to depend on the person, for me they wouldn’t be a deal breaker but I can understand that it can anger others who expect better of a quite expensive phone. Good luck with your delivery!
There’s two that I can see. Both on the same line. If you look at the inside bottom of the camera cutout, then move your vision slowly left, you’ll see the first one. A bit more for the second.
I bought one during the Black Friday sale and haven’t seen any bumps so far. Had the phone about a week.
