Google announced a new extended repair program for Pixel 8 devices that develop display issues like a vertical line or flickering.
The new program comes as reports about display problems emerge on social media. Notably, Google isn’t the only phone maker with display problems; some Samsung phones are also plagued with line issues.
The repair program extends support coverage for impacted Pixel 8 devices for three years after the date of the original retail purchase. Per details shared to the Pixel Phone Help site, eligible devices include Pixel 8s that:
- “Exhibits a vertical line running from the bottom of the display to the the [sic] top or a display flicker”
- “Has a device identifier (e.g., IMEI, serial number) determined by Google or an authorized repair partner, as qualifying for this program”
Google confirmed to MobileSyrup that the new program applies to Canada.
