Google DeepMind scientists among 2024 Chemistry Nobel winners
Two Google DeepMind scientists Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper, along with Washington University Professor David Baker, on Wednesday won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
In a grim reminder of Samsung Galaxy Note 7 debacle, now, people with review units of Google Pixel 2 XL are reportedly encountering display burn-in issues. Also called screen burn, this issue happens when there is a permanent discolouration on a portion of smartphone’s screen caused by irregular pixel usage, first reported on Twitter by Android Central’s Alex Dobie.
Reports say that multiple people have noticed the same display burn-in issue which turns screen with a gray background. You can see faint outlines of the phone’s navigation buttons on the bottom in image along with Alex’s tweet, which reads, “That’s some pretty wild OLED burn-in on the Pixel 2 XL after maybe 7 days of full-time use.”
Google is reportedly acknowledged the issue as well, and according to a report the company is actively investigating the issue.

“The Pixel 2 XL screen has been designed with an advanced POLED technology, including QHD+ resolution, wide colour gamut, and high contrast ratio for natural and beautiful colors and renderings,” Android Central quoted a Google spokesperson as saying late unday.
“We put all of our products through extensive quality testing before launch and in the manufacturing of every unit. We are actively investigating this report.”

“Multiple people have noticed that when you look at the smartphone’s screen with a gray background, you can see faint outlines of the phone’s navigation buttons on the bottom,” The Verge reported.
It could be a genuine screen burn-in problem, say reports, and can become a deal-breaker for potential buyers.
