hello, I just received the pixel 7 pro 128 but I immediately noticed an anomaly on the screen
when you select an icon with your finger or write a text, you hear a void under the screen, the typical void sound when you hit a wall and behind it there is an empty space before the brick.
the same happens when the phone is turned off
thanks for your reply
A somewhat hollow sound you mean? That's natural I think. I kind of like it.

That's normal. It's because of how the screen is bonded to the frame to facilitate easy screen replacement.

Glass is glass. You drop it and hit it just right it'll break no matter how it feels.
I moved over from OnePlus and the screen feels cheap and plasticky. I guess it is what it is.

They use similar panels to OnePlus 9 Pro / 10 Pro The only difference is that Pixel 7 series has a completely different internal design compared to OnePlus 9/10. There is nothing "bad" or "good" to it. It just sounds different when you knock on it.
I owned an OP 6T, 7 Pro and 9 Pro. Google Pixel 7 Pro feels more like a premium phone than my OP 9 Pro. Similar metal frame and curved glass. Im not understanding with you mean by hallow.
Edit: also when you knock on the pixel 7 pro it has a deeper thunk than OP9P.( If that is what you mean by hallow.)
Cane from the 10 pro. My pixel feels and looks more premium to me, but that's subjective anyways.
I noticed the'hollow' thing when I got my unit. Quite like it actually.
Why are people tapping the glass on the screen anyway? This is like people wondering why it rattles when you shake it.
It was done on purpose. It sounds hollow because the screen is not bonded to the midframe. It makes screen replacement easier, and helps keeps the screen from getting warm when the cpu's heat up.

The first part sounds like a W and the second like an L. The screen is often used to dissipate heat and avoid throttling in smartphones. Why would you give that up when the SoC is already built on the inferior Samsung tech?

Can anyone else press the screen semi hard with one finger and distort the LCD screen too?
I know it is not normal for anyone to be pressing that hard, but I just want to make sure I do not have a defect before my 14 days return window closes.
Thanks
ive done it before and that happens. It seems to have the same effect on all lcd/led screens with a bit of pressure. IMHO totally normal.

Thanks for the response. I know LCD screens do that, I just wanted to make sure that there wasn't an issue with the glass flexing and pushing on the LCD screen.
So if yours is doing it, then I'm OK with mine doing it too. It's not like we are going to be pressing that hard anyway.
Thanks!
You do know the L in LCD means liquid? If you press hard on any LCD screen this will happen. you are displacing the liquid under the screen. You aren't hurting anything. It corrects itelf in a matter of seconds.
The xoom has a really thin glass panel, this is most likely the reason you can distort the liquid easily
How this distortion looks? It could help discern what type of LCD Xoom is using. (for example pressing my PVA screen show a dark smudge)
angry birds causes me to do this now and then!
I get white smudges. I thought that Gorilla glass would have less flex.
Does it look like this?
I returned mine, as the first one I have doesn't exhibit this. Yes, if you press if really hard, any LCD would show this, but this is barely a tap. I'm using my Wacom stylus here, but it's the same with just my finger. It's actually worst in person, but you can clearly see it happening on the video. And it's only on the right hand side of the screen also, so it's definitely a defect. On mine anyway.

Yeah...mine is mostly on the right side into the center. Center to the left, it gets really hard to do it.
it's easier on the right side than the left on mine too but i still kinda have to push a bit. if you push in on the back panel on the right side it does it too.
My screen is a bit elevated close of sim card slot, they pass of the border of bezel, it's 'normal'?
I can feel the glass in this corner, different from all others corners.

Glue, was the glue!
Heat and press the screen.

The border is good to put they face down and don't scratch the screen, but with this protuberance this isn't good.

Would you say this is a screen separation issue like with the nexus 7?
I've heard people try the clamping method where they clamp the elevated side then left some movie or app playing that heats up the unit so that the glue can re-flow...might try that.
Its near flat on my other unit, so this makes me wonder if this issue is on all units?

Wow it's true! Was the glue!!
I leave they inside the case and running NFSMW, they gone to 42c, I pressed the screen many times, while hot, and they gone down!!
When I pressed screen before heat, the screen make litle crack sounds, plastic sound, every time, now after head, they don't make sounds and the screen is perfect.

Hi everyone,
The Essential company claims that the phone is very drop and scratch resistant thanks to the premium materials used in the phone, but sadly there are no official Essential drop tests available anywhere which is mainly due to all the problems Essential seems to be having with supplies and rolling out their first manufactured devices. There are also some reports surfacing from the very early adopters of the phone of some scuffs and scratches which never go beyond a mere mention.
I thought I would start this thread where people who have the phone can report about how the phone handles inadvertent drops and scratches and scuffs to the screen and the ceramic back. When posting, please also include a little bit of explanation as to how it happened and if possible a picture of the supposed damages to the phone.
Cheers.
dropped mine twice. 2 nicks in screen, but ceramic and titanium are fine.

I watched the video. Mous of 7 or better on the ceramic. The finish in the titanium can be damaged but noting like aluminum.
Forget about bending the phone. The phone is pretty tough. A case will protect th cosmetics.
https://www.cnet.com/videos/we-destroyed-the-essential-phone/
Seems like this will be a very durable device.
Ya for what its worth it is way way way better than any aluminum phone would do. This they got right but its the software and camera that hold it back

My only complaint is the camera software.
Other than that, I don't have any issues.
I would like a case, but only for cosmetics.
Know what really does it for me? Stock Android is a bit too stock also. I have gotten really used to how the pixel works and really like it with all it's slight tweaks to stock.
The cameras sensors are still too small to be on the level of the the other flagships too. Not only software. The Google camera does pretty well though

I use Nova, so Android is never really stock for me.
I use Nova Launcher because I can restore my device layout on any device.
As far as the camera, I'm not that concerned about the quality.
For me it's a case of not having a better camera and just getting the picture is important.
If I really wanted a good photo, I'd use one of my"real" cameras.

I've dropped this phone in 1 week more than I've dropped my Pixel XL in the past 3 months, just because of how slippery the little bugger is. No damage as a result of dropping it, though.
I do have some very light scratches on the ceramic back, from sliding across my desk or countertop at home, which I was *not* expecting. Both the top, by the mod indentation holes, and at the bottom left, too. I know they aren't from dropping it, as every time it's fallen, it's landed on its side or a corner, never flat on its back.

It is definitely not the phone for everyone. Build quality is for everyone.
There are some software shortcomings. I think they can sort those out.
I sold my 6P. SO I have the Essential for the long haul.
I have my replacement phone arriving today. I have gone through 2 glass screen protectors that due to the fit of them (not sticking to the edges) I have a nick in the glass at the top left and the screen is completely shattered on the bottom left, I can see gold metal under it and it has a crack running diagonally from left to right from the bottom left. I know I never dropped this phone from more than 2 feet high. I also have the scratches on the ceramic back near the mods ports. I've only used my 360 a couple of times. I'm definitely getting a case and moving to a plastic wet install screen protector.
I haven't dropped this phone yet, but I have several hairline scratches on the back ceramic. I guess I'm around a lot of minerals or dust particles that are > 8 hardness, which I find interesting.
Also on the glass I notice a patch of hairline scratches. I'm usually real careful about my phones (of course, everyone says this) but I think that's more of Corning's fault this time around. They're really small but knowing they're there bothers me. I wish I could buff them out. I'll be getting a screen protector I guess.

Oh wow, those are cool
My back panel got scratched (micro scratches) that's so weird. Got ceramic Xiaomi mi2 and it was perfectly strong....not like this one.
I dropped mine screen facing the floor from about 4 feet. Screen survived, minor scratches. Not a single crack. I didn't expect the screen to survive.
-Nav
I have a step from main floor to foyer. Placed my phone near the edge and my dog pushed it down to tiles. Face down smashed!
2 line of scratches at the bottom bezel.
small dings on top left and bottom left corner display.
Sigh... thought it would survive...

No I don't have any screen bleeding issue.
But if you aren't sure use an all blck wallpaper and if you see whitish tone near the edges your screen is bleeding.

Perhaps a white wallpaper would show any particular screen bleeding than black wallpaper.
I dont need to post pictures, there is rather noticeable bleeding all around the display when using dark wallpaper when brightness is set to more rhan 50% (indoor usage). Especially on top and bottom edge of the display.

It isn't a scratch but it feels like the display is burned or something. I don't know why it is happening. I have cleaned the device but that is not getting rid of it.

That's new to me and is quite strange to see. Doesn't look like screen bleed or burn though. Do get it checked at the service centre, and, if possible, enquire from them as to what caused it and keep us updated. Also, playing pubg shouldn't have such drastic effects on a device.

I don't know if i will get replacement or what coz i bought this 20 days ago.
Let's see what happen.
I've had a similar issue on my old phone. Either you have been cleaning your screen too much (so much that you have "cleaned" away a part of the oleophobic coating) or you have been playing games too much (sliding your finger along the same part of the screen and your sweat dissolved the oleophobic coating little by little). Try placing a couple of water drops on that part of the screen and also on different part of the screen (where there is no "smudge" ). You'll see a difference in the water drop shape. As far as i know, there is no way to restore factory applied oleophobic coating to its original condition.

I quite agree with you 2nd point of playing game that is pubg as I already mentioned and as you said "sliding your fingers along same part of the screen" Yes, this could be the reason as the joystick is on the left and it's always sliding there and as the device gets heated I get sweat on my thumb. But I have been playing pubg on my recent Note 5 Pro, I never got any sort of smudge. By the way it's not a cheap phone as it has best specs. But I did not expect this issue and yes I have cleaned with water but it's now permanent. I am little worried about the phone as I will go to the service center today to get replacement or whatever they will say. I will let you all know what will be the result.
Unfortunately, no oleophobic coating is perfect as it will wear off every device/surface over time. It depends on how one uses his/hers phone. I can only speculate that since RN5P and RN7P have different screen materials, the oleophobic coating will perform differently on each device. There are also other factors at play. I hope the service centre will give you a replacement unit, but this case scenario falls under "normal wear and tear" category which is, to my knowledge, not considered as a device defect. Anyway, there are some products out there that claim to restore/reapply the oleophobic coating of a screen, but i really doubt their efficacy. I guess you have nothing to loose if you wish to try some out, but even if they work, their efficacy will not be near as good as a factory applied coating. Good luck.

Unfortunately, service center only said that this is the first time that this problem we have faced and said you can only get the new lcd panel inspite of replacing the device.
So now I have to replace the lcd panel and have to wait for 7-10 days with submitting my phone to the service center! Without submitting the device they will not replace the lcd which is sad.

I respect you answer!
But do you know that I have been using this device since 25 days, thereafter, my device had not felt even once.
Secondly, I use this device with cover that is provided in the mi store worth 349 which is very safe and good cover.
Fortunately, the device was all good when I opened the box and there was no spot, but I have noticed that spot after 15 to 20 days.
I thought that is is nothing just a smudge which can be cleared with a cloth but it doesn't get rid of it.
If I damaged the Device physically then a scratch must be there on the screen where there is a spot, so there is not even a single scratch. By the way if I have damaged it myself then I have to mention that thing in the thread, as I mentioned playing PUBG, because I had a doubt that when I play PUBG daily 3-4 hours the device is heated a lot above the center portion and the place where the spot is as same as the joystick of pubg which is used continuously ! Lastly I had no screen guard on the screen !

I mean for general usage - it's not a big hindrance, but for gaming - it's a different matter all together specially for FPS(First person shooter). I always find my thumb getting stuck in the screen protector's punch hole for the front camera.

Most of the reputable TG's in Amazon US have a punch hole in the camera area... Sad case of mine...
I'm not fond of the camera being "on" the screen either. Like I get it looks cool but functionally speaking it's kind of obtrusive. When phone screens didn't go past the camera they were more practical and you could cover it up for privacy. Now you can't do that as placing tape will make the screen think you're touching it. I can't seem to find a practical way at covering it up without making the screen bug out.
This is my first new phone in 6 years and tbh I don't buy this "borderless" look phones have these days. I also miss having a physical home screen button.
The hole on my N10+ doesn't bother me... much. I use it Energy Ring there for a battery % indicator.
For games I flip the phone 180° if the hole is being a menace.
Meh, it's better than a lame Apple hump and I wuv the near zero borders... on my phone that is

When phone screens didn't go past the camera they were more practical and you could cover it up for privacy. Now you can't do that as placing tape will make the screen think you're touching it. I can't seem to find a practical way at covering it up without making the screen bug out.
This is my first new phone in 6 years and tbh I don't buy this "borderless" look phones have these days. I also miss having a physical home screen button.

I would have opted for an ROG Phone to avoid the stupid punch hole theme altogether but I'm waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too poor to afford the latest one

The hole on my N10+ doesn't bother me... much. I use it Energy Ring there for a battery % indicator.
For games I flip the phone 180° if the hole is being a menace.
Meh, it's better than a lame Apple hump and I wuv the near zero borders... on my phone that is

Yeah I flip the phone too so that the stupid punch hole is on the right side of the screen on landscape orientation.

What does TG mean?
Anyway: usually glass screen protector for Samsung Galaxy A80 does not have a hole, are easy to find and are cheap. And they fit Poco X3 really well! Search for 3D or 9D for A80.
