Google's taking action to address display issues with its Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL smartphones, offering an extended repair program to fix these devices. But here's the catch: the company isn't just repairing them, they're replacing them entirely! And this is the part most people miss: the same goes for the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, although Google hasn't specified the exact issue with this model.
According to Google's support pages, the repair program covers devices with a vertical line running across the display, a problem many users have reported online. It also includes displays with flickering issues. Both models are now covered for three years after the original purchase date, but devices with cracked screens or liquid damage may not be eligible for free repairs or replacements.
For the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, Google is going a step further and offering replacements within the three-year window. This suggests a more serious issue with the device, potentially related to the screen, as noted by 9to5Google.
So, if you're a Pixel 9 Pro or Pixel 9 Pro XL owner, now's the time to check if your device is eligible for repair. And for those with the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, keep an eye out for any signs of issues, as you might be in line for a brand new device!
This move by Google raises some interesting questions. Are these display issues a result of manufacturing defects or something more systemic? And what does this mean for the future of these devices? We'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments!
