    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    It looks like components inside the phone are pressing up against the back of the OLED display, resulting in visible bumps under the right lighting conditions.

    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.

    The pictures and videos out there all involve people shining flashlights into a turned-off display, so it’s not the end of the world.

    It wasn’t noted in the video, but freeze-frame it and you’ll see some pretty alarming indents in the copper sheet on the back of the display that you can try to match up to the other half of the phone.

    It’s also strange that this happens only on some Pixel 8s, indicating it’s a QC issue and not some purposeful decision in the never-ending quest for device thinness.

    The tell-tale sign of this being an actual problem will be an OLED display that’s internally broken but doesn’t have a shattered glass cover.
