Google Pixel 6 series the game changer was launched last month with great capabilities. As the history is concerned, the previous Pixel devices had faced a lot of issues but this year’s Pixel does not have many hardware issues, the Pixel 6 lineup seems to not be facing major hardware troubles. However, some users have reported a screen flickering issue in Pixel 6 Pro that occurs in a specific scenario, and Google has promised to release a bugfix update next month.
According to a 9to5Google report, some Pixel 6 Pro users have noticed that the screen starts flickering if they partially hold down the power button when the device is turned off. However, it won’t appear when you press and hold the power button to switch on the device and doesn’t last when the handset is on.
Google confirmed that this Pixel 6 Pro bug will be solved in the December software update. Moreover, the company has confirmed that the screen flickering bug is not a hardware issue. “To avoid seeing this, when the power is off, do not cycle the power button. When you want to use the phone, hold the power button down long enough to turn it on,” wrote the company’s representative.
