Question Hollow screen sound - Google Pixel 6 Pro

I got my Pixel 6 Pro yesterday and I'm loving it so far. One annoying thing though is that the screen feels hollow. It almost feels like I'm tapping on a piece of plastic and not a sheet of glass. The sound is also really annoying. It feels like there is a gap between the screen and what's underneath it. I used to have a OnePlus 7 Pro and that screen feels like a solid brick. Is this normal or not?

Noticed that myself, I thought they had a plastic screen protector on it.
Comparing to my 3XL which feels like solid glass.

Exactly what I thought! Feels like tapping on plastic. But I guess it is normal. My brother's iPhone also feels like this. Kind of weird.

Welcome to Gorilla Glass Victus!

Interesting. A Google search for this anomaly only pulls up glowing reviews.
3 pages couldn't find anything about it... I'm not doubting members claims here.
A dead giveaway there's monkey business afoot.
Looks at all the glowing initial reviews for all of the Samsung Fold series...
Meh, time will tell.
The glass which is Victus and the display are relatively thin. Some the support comes from what's in back of it and how it's bonded to the display. The battery is a big part of this usually.
Victus glass is thinner than previous glasses.
The actual thickness used though is up to the individual manufacturer, I believe.

Not sure how I will feel about this. Maybe once some screen protectors similar to Whitestone dome come out they will alleviate this some?

That's interesting.
8 hours ago I tweeted this
https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1452933119812816896

To return a device because tapping on it sounds different than expected or the last device used seems absurd.

Not really. Didn't feel nice to use.
I didn't return it because of the sound it was the feel.

Hey Mark, this is exactly how I felt. Do you think this is an issue or just how it feels? I'm conflicted.

I think it's just the new victus glass.
I doubt it's an issue. They will all be like it however it could be down to how it's been bonded and what's behind the screen (battery etc). I think all the pros will be the same though and most likely the non pro too.
I'm tempted to get the non pro and find out but will think about it this evening and decide tomorrow.

It may have more to do with the actual thickness of the Victus glass. Corning from what I've read doesn't specify the thickness of their glass the manufacturer must use.
However Corning's impact testing is based on a specified thickness. Feel the impact of that...

Yup victus is thinner.
It's not defective it's just different. I didn't like how it felt so I have returned mine.

It sounds like some screens are delaminating.
I have not seen mention of this issue on any of the many reviews I have watched.

lol. I'm not getting the hollow feeling... at all.
I switched over from a Pixel 5 so I know the feeling you're talking about. There were folks even discussing it on XDA a year ago here. And that wasn't the only thread.
Anyway, that feeling that I felt on the 5, I'm not getting on the 6 Pro.

Now everyone is tapping their screens

May be that's how it is. Else all the iPhone lovers reviewing the phone would have pointed this one out even before doing any of the comparison with iPhone 13 Pro/Max
FYI... This guy's Pixel 6 Pro screen shattered. It looks like glass to me.

Oh no! Not again!!

[anit-finger print] Oleophobic coating kit.

Didn't see anyone else talking about this on XDA. I though I would post my experience.
****This Product IS AMAZING*****
What is it?
Your touch screen comes with Gorilla Glass, which is great. It has an oleophobic coating on the screen that repels oils from your fingers, from your face. It is great. It also gives the screen that smooth finger sliding lower co-efficient of friction. That new phone screen feeling that I just love when I get a new phone. The problem is that it wears off after some time and you will notice after having the phone for a few months that the screen starts smudging and you start wiping the screen more and more to make it look clean. This drives me crazy and I can honestly admit that I have in the past purchased a new phone just so I could get that "New Screen Feeling". I once even traded in my Galaxy S2 used for a new S2 and spent $100 just to get the "New Screen Feeling".
Am I crazy?
Maybe but I am sure I am not the only one who loves a new screen. I absolutely hate screen protector with a passion, and I have tried multiple different protectors during my smart phone era but none did it for me except the ones that are made from tempered glass, but they suffer from the same fate of the coating wearing off and they are more susceptible to scratching then the stock screen.
So the solution?
This coating can be reapplied for cheap. There are a few different brands that I have come across. I used a brand called Proteger ordered on eBay from Japan. Other brands I have seen are Fusso and Dynaflo LIQUID-ARMOR. It appears that they are all manufactured in Japan. Most bottles are between $15 - $20.
The instructions say to use 10 - 15 drops on the screen. This is not needed and WAY TOO MUCH. You can put 4 - 5 drops on your screen per coat. Best to do 4 coats. This is how I applied it.
- clean first with supplied micro fibre cloth
- 5 drops on screen
- rub with one finger covering the whole screen. I kept rubbing until it was almost completely dry.
- once it is dry the screen is very hazy. Use a clean rag or paper towel to wipe it off. Keep turning the rag to a clean dry spot until all haze is gone.
- repeat 3 more times. It is suggested that you wait 8 hours to allow each coat to cure. I only waited 10 minutes and got great results, but tonight I will allow it 8 hours while I sleep to cure another coat.
Results.
You will notice immediately that the screen feels like new. Even after first coat, but it improves with every coat. The more coats the more slick the screen is.
******Here is the best part*******
I noticed with my Nexus 5 and previous phone that I would always get these micro scratches from regular use. This would drive some people to get screen protectors but I rather micro scratches then a disgusting looking screen protector. I never really got deep scratches or gouges but I would always get micro scratches that you could only see at certain angles. Here is the kicker. After applying the Proteger coating THESE SCRATCHES ARE GONE edit** the ok the scratches are not completely gone but they are much less noticeable. You really have to try to see them now. Obviously this product isn't some sort of magic solution, and the scratches don't disappear. I reckon that it fills the fine scratches kinda like wax on your car. Either way less noticeable is good enough for me.
I even tried it on my crappy beat up Blackberry work phone that has a pretty scratched up screen and all of the scratches are now gone except for 2 deep ones, but even they are less noticeable. AMAZING.
This is a great product and I will recommend it to everyone that I know. The bottle I bought was 10ml and I have done 2 phones and I can't even see the level go down in the bottle, this product should last a long time.
Anyone else use this stuff. Please leave your comments and reviews.

The Anker screen protectors I use are completely invisible, provided you apply them correctly. And to me, micro scratches are completely unacceptable for resale value purposes.
But good review, thanks for sharing, and to each their own.
Hmm maybe this would be great when applied on a cheap glass screan protector. A bit pricey, still.
Couldn't you just use RainX?

Exactly my experience. No one believes me when I tell them my phone has a screen protector applied to it. Also they have a very good anti-smudge coating which stops a lot of finger prints and makes the screen very easy to clean. And if you want to have a screen that looks and feels always as new as possible, just stick a new protector on the phone. I got 3 ones from Anker for just 5€. Obviously this only works if you put the screen protector on as soon as you unbox your freshly bought phone. IMO this is the only real way to prevent micro-scratches or any other type of scratches to harm the actual screen. If you want to sell your phone you can take the screen protector off and it looks as new (granted you have been using a case so the rest of your phone isn't scratched etc either)

I haven't personally used RainX, but I have heard some people get good results from it. That said, I still believe a true oleophobic coating is a better idea. I don't know how to feel about the chemical properties of RainX. Maybe I'm just paranoid...
Always wondered if those things actually worked....might get one now. Thanks.

Thanks for this. I've had a hammerhead here for 26 months and just realized after buying another phone how bad the screen is regarding oil and smudges. It is rather ungodly and disgusting looking after taking a phone call. Based on searches the oleophobic coating is gone and I've been looking for a kit to reapply some of it at the very least. All the other products I've looked at do recommend multiple applications several hours apart.
Hopefully your fourteen month old review still holds true.

I agree, my experience with Tech Armor glass screen protectors has been good! The oleophobic coating is better than the one that comes with the nexus 5 and the scratch resistance is better. With a case on, you forget it is even there. I'd link you to it if i could!
Thanks for that information, I was only aware of Fusso before and that costs about £20 for 3ml, for about £30 you get 20ml of this stuff, way better value! I know what to get next time!
Hey, are you able to confirm if the Proteger coating actually works well. Read a few reviews and they all say it only last half a day while Fusso has great reviews. Don't want to waste £30 in it if it's no good.

Panda XL regrets?

Do you wish you had bought the all black?
I have a 128 panda due for delivery on the 4th of December direct from Google and really looking forward to receiving it. But am slightly concerned about a few things.....
1. Will the colour discolour over time.
2. How durable is the plastic power button.
3. Is the coating more slippery than the black.
On a more positive note I do wonder if the panda will hold its value a bit better due to its more unique design?
I know it's still early days and how durable these units are will only be known over time, but for 900 GBP I thought it was worth asking.
I’ve had a Panda since launch day and my colleague has a black 2 XL so I reckon I can answer your questions pretty well.
1. Google warns that it may be discoloured by jeans and the like but mine is fine. I’m always picking it up with greasy hands after working on engines too and it has just rubbed off so far
2. The power button does feel pretty crap. I think the resting position has already sunken a little compared to new, but whatever, it still works for now.
3. Yep, it’s much more smooth compared to a black 2 XL. I wouldn’t say it’s much more slippery but definitely smoother to the touch.
Sounds pretty bad, but I don’t care, I still prefer the Panda version - no regrets!
Hope this helps.
Maybe put a nice thin Black Case on it...

Cheers for the info mate.
Mine is fine, and it looks so much better I think. Pixels are a subtle design anyways so the panda spices it up a bit and I think really makes it nice verses the blandish black. As for discoloration ... get a film back cover - I did, looks great, protects phone, and feels fine (you can even get a matte version if you want to keep that satin type feel.

I got a spigen clear soft cover ready to go on it. I'm not a big fan of covers that don't have the openings for the buttons though.
IllumiShield, but just the film. Phone feels so much better without even an ultra thin case.

Just curious but if the purchase of a case is to prevent damage to the device, why would you want a type that increases the risk? The more openings, the more avenues for dust and particles to get in, which can then scratch and damage the product you're trying to protect.
Personally I've never understood why any case maker would leave the buttons exposed.

For me personally I would totally prefer a phone without a case altogether so I guess it's a compromise when using a minimal case. I always try to find something that will protect it as much as physically possible but with little bulk.
I do get your point though.
I have both (bought the panda when it became obvious that my 6P wouldn't last much longer). I thought I would love the panda but I like the just black better. Both are in Spigen Thin Fit cases.

I havent seen a Panda in person but I think i'd like it better then the all black. Just the contrast of the colors but I can always add a skin. I was too impatient and wanted the pixel 2 xl asap instead of waiting the extra 2-3 weeks for panda.
I wanted something different than an all black phone so I got the panda and I kind of regret it. The black and white looks kinda cheesy after a while IMHO. I'm not going to take it back or anything but I do wish I had an all black phone!
Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
Have been using Black Pixel XL previously, so chose Panda this time. NO REGRETS
No regrets at all. Love it. The black looks cool too but nice to have something that stands out a bit more. If I get a bit bored I will just stick a black case or skin on it
Yeah I wish I could swap my panda xl with a all black one, oh well.
Only regret I have is that my case hides its beauty!

Scratches around screen surround

Looks like there is a plastic strip around the screen before the aluminium bezel as mine after just 2 days with a case has fine scratches already be careful peeps will annoy some.

I was supposed to create a thread regarding this but yes, I can confirm my P20 got scratched on the plastic strip surrounding the the screen as well!!! It is annoying!! why the heck did they use glossy plastic instead of the matte (like on the iPhone X)!!!! Mine actually was covered with case since day 1 but the friction on the case caused this!
SO.... ANYTHING THE TOUCHES THE PLASTIC WILL CAUSE IT TO GET SCRATCHED. PERIOD. Screw Huawei!
I just noticed that, the plastic is pretty thick, about 1mm, and I though it was a curve glass that run right down to the metal, also do note the metal around the back camera is also very easy to get scratched.

I have issue with p20 after a week use with fulltime case on. Very poor quality build.
oh well, I just have to live with the scratches. I'm just pissed that Huawei overlooked this issue when they did their QA.
Same here. Very bad quality. Shame on you, Huawei.
I have the issue of the back panel getting really scratched uo even with a case on permanently
Yep. I got the same issue. Damn it. I've been carefull with the phone all the time. It is perfect except that area u mentioned.
that's just stupid for a 700 USD phone.
Can anyone share a screenshot of these scratches you guys are talking about? I've had mine for about 3 weeks now (factory case+screen protector on) and don't see these scratches.
Some pics
any fix for this? at least to make the scratches less visible? damn piss me off.
I got Huawei P20 Pro and after 5 min of use it already has scratches on back glass. Sony XPERIA XZ2 Premium after a month without any case still doesn't have scratches on back glass. Bad quality for this price. Very disapointed. **** quality.
come on guys, it cant be that bad. I saw a ton of 2nd hand p20s and none of them had those scratches.. I had p9, p10, mate 9 .. and never had any issues. I am planing to buy regular p20, but you are getting me worried
I don't have any scratches... What are you doing with these phones??!! Scratches cannot comes by itself
I can confirm the same issue. I dont know why they decided to use plastic. I owned m2 m3 and now i own mediapad m5 and they all are with metal body with no signs of scratches in normal use. I'm too quite disappointed. Its weird build quality to be worse than their tablets for such high price. Otherwise i like the phone very much. The back is quite sensitive to scratches. I have one already even I've never use it without case. But it's very cool and beautiful with glass back. Can someone with mate 10 pro can confirm if the build quality is better or the same.
I think the P10 has the same "flaw" but I never had any issues with it.
edit: I bought a new p20, used the huawei case that comes in the box from the day 1..and yes.. I can already (after a week or so) see some scratches around the screen. nothing major though.. you have to go outside and keep tilting the phone from one side to another to be able to notice it.
I think they're factory scratched
Hello! Im from Chile, I have this phone since a couple of weeks now and yes, I can confirm that it has this exact same issue.
I'm a maniac when it comes to phone care, I've been using mine with the silicone case included since day 1, in fact I still haven't removed the back protective film, I think those scratches appear because of the friction caused when you put on the case and take it off a couple of times. The other day, I had to swap SIM cards a couple of times and noticed those ugly scratches, thought it was dirty but nope, it's a bummer for a premium flagship device, bad idea to use black, glossy and cheap plastic on the bezel.
Well... I guess we will have to live with it, because changing the whole LCD panel is not cheap nor easy, it's not worth the hassle.

Tempered Glass Screen Protectors

Less than a millimeter gap on each side. Real estate that isn't important. I purchased a Nillkin tempered glass screen protector made for the Find X2, but it diminished touch input (I had to press harder on the screen to get it to work). The OnePlus 8 is much better.
The pre-installed plastic screen protector on mine is getting a bit worse for wear. I'm not sure what route to go down with replacement (currently using a case). Tempted by some more plastic protectors - but then I'm not sure how bad this would deteriorate the actual screen 'experience', as you would imagine that a screen this good needs to be 'unhindered' by cheap protection.
Any suggestions?

Neither are liquid glass, the one you may be referring to is tempered glass but with a loca glue solution to keep the protector applied around the corners as it's curved, but thank you for the heads up

Please do let me know! I'm in the UK too and have a few of the Hydro gel screen protectors here ready to replace the factory one if needed, and I've a few UV Loca Glue ones coming from Aliexpress. But it'd be good to know how the Ultimate Shield one is [emoji4]

Yes please let us know ! I was willing to buy them cause the nillkin 3d CP+ max are pure garbage ...
They fit with the official kevlar case but as said before touch input / screen's sensitivity is completly off and fingerprints scanner doesn't work with dark wallpaper :/
As a alternative to Tempered Glass, these TPU ones are outstanding, feel amazing & fit perfectly!

I already got the glue one, gonna install it tonight and will tell you how it feels in 2-3 days
Okay, my impressions after installing it. Quality related is very good, same as Asbellt I'd say, probably the best screen protector you can install on Oppo find x2 pro nowadays BUT really important to avoid the mistake I made:
- Level very well the phone before using the glue, the rear cameras will make the phone unstable in the surface and the glue will fall across the screen, use the plastic protector or something to level the phone, or with your hands or whatever but this is very important, I could have installed it a bit better than I did because of this.
- Also, this screen protector doesnt cover 100% of the screen like the Asbellt one did (at least with One Plus 7 Pro). This one covers around 85/90% ratio of the screen, I find it more than enough but still important to say because this was disappointing for me.
Anyway I'd recommend it, its not perfect, I would have liked it to cover 100% of the screen, not 90%, but im quite sure this is the best screen protector you can use on the phone, touch fidelity 100%, like if there was no protector, it will definitely protect your screen from drops, only the protector will break, I say this cause I have a lot of experience with these glue protectors, I bought the One Plus one like 3 or 4 times (2 years of drops and the screen is as the first day, like just taken out of the box) and well, to sum up, the screen protector is not perfect, I'd like Asbellt to produce one themselves but in my opinion this is the best you can buy at the moment.

Okay, my impressions after installing it. Quality related is very good, same as Asbellt I'd say, probably the best screen protector you can install on Oppo find x2 pro nowadays BUT really important to avoid the mistake I made:

Cheers for the info! [emoji4] I've got a few coming from Aliexpress which I only paid a few quid each for, I'm wondering if mine will cover the full screen or be slightly smaller like you've said the one you bought is.

I have installed the same one. I would like to add.
I also made a mistake when installing it, did not realise they give more glue than needed (Last UV one I installed had the correct amount of glue) also the top speaker is very close and on a curve so be careful as you could get glue in it.
The UV light quality is very good.
It also comes as Pack of 2 so I have another shot

Thank you both for your detailed review ! Would it be possible to have some photos to have an idea of how it looks once installed ? I'm a bit concerned about the size
Just saw this on Amazon maybe it worths the shot ? https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B087LSGM5P/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_AkmfFbJ5ES9ZH
Thank you do much

Definitely not, from the package contents there's no glue meaning the protector only has adhesive applied to the edges, this ruins screen sensitivity, fingerprint sensor accuracy and makes annoying clicking sounds in the corners

Question Factory Fit Screen Protector - Terrible or just me?

Title says it all really, I just unboxed my 9 Pro and the pre-fitted protector feels really thick and makes swiping feel like it is through treacle.
Anybody else?
The complaints with this phone just keep growing
Not really a complaint as I will just remove it, was just curious.
Oh no man not saying you're complaining...it's just seeming like oneplus rushed this release a bit
If I decide to keep the phone, I'm removing the factory installed screen protector. I agree, swiping isn't great, and it seems to sometimes interfere with fingerprint detection and get me locked out of apps.
Factory installed protector feels fine to me and I appreciate having it on there while available accessories fill and round out a bit.
I really have no complaints about the device. The single issue I have is that it wants me to install the latest update again, but it can't... so I just hid that notification for now.
I usually leave the factory fit protectors on but this one feels like it dulls the touch response a little, either that or it's fine and there is afault on the phone itself (doubtful)
Like the phone mostly so far, only negative is they removed DC dimming, when did that happen?
Feels the same as oneplus 8 pro, but I hated that factory one. It peeled quick on the edges. My oneplus 7 pro never peeled. Overall this phone seems to work just fine. People will always complain. Don't like it? return it! You have options, it's a competitive market.

If this is similar to the oneplus 8 pro, I kinda preferred it. It wasn't as bad as that atrocious z gold 2 screen protector and it is way more scratch resistant than other pre-installed ones. I haven't checked it out yet. Still waiting for my case before I take it out of the box, lol.
Every oneplus I have had that came with the factory protector just sucks, its not slippery to allow your finger to glide across the screen, so I always remove it and use it as is.
Yep took mine off, with the smoothness and also the rather sharp edges catching all the time with edge swipes it was annoying. Bought the Spigen NeoFlex TPU protectors and they are junk too, edges don't stick down so will come off or get dirty quickly. (Sending them back)

Is the swiping and touch response better with it removed?

Yes it's as good as any other phone now, screen is nice and smooth with no mistouches or bad responses.

T-minus hours or days until the mysterious scratches start to appear...

The stock screen protector was thick and peeling off for me, so I switched to Gadgetshieldz screen protector which I've been using for 3 months and I like it. Since It's a very thin film screen protector, so I can't feel it on my display and it gives good protection against scratches.
It maybe down to the individual and which batch your phone is from, I've still got the factory screen film on the phone and using it with a ringke fusion case. I'm glad I kept the screen protector on as it's had a few scratches, some are quite deep from where I've put the phone in a pocket with keys! I now make sure I avoid doing that.
I dont agree with this. My first oneplus was 3 and it took some time to even realise that there was screen protector at all. And if you can look past that op is very lazy releasing sources its not a bad device at all. My op8p had terrble display and changed it was it like 3 times..
The whitestone dome feels like the original screen and is very nice if you can install it without any bubbles showing. I recommend installing it by hand without the little frame it comes with.

I'm having the exact same setup xD Factory film and ringke fusion case is a sleek combo. Although the factory screen film is peeling off already it's protecting from scratches, thats what I need, as the case is covering the rest! Amazing setup bro!
