Google Pixel 9 Pro XL facing touchscreen issues

Earlier last week, several Pixel 9 Pro XL owners noticed a camera bug that caused video recordings to flip at certain magnification levels and lens adjustments. The concerns began with a Reddit thread created on August 26th, which is still active and can be seen here. Wireless charging issues were also observed at the end of last month, and now it’s time to address the touchscreen. Unfortunately, it appears that some owners of Google‘s smartphone are having difficulty using them since touch input in the screen’s corners is not recognized.

One of the Reddit threads concerning this problem was started 11 days ago by Lean_account. The last post is dated three days ago, and most replies to the initial report confirm this issue. Sadly, this has been confirmed by Google to be an RMA situation. Reddit user Mx772, who started a similar thread, was contacted by the official Google account PixelCommunity and received the aforementioned confirmation.

For now, the temporary fix is to reboot the phone. Those who cannot live with this solution for a while can also choose to return the handset and hope to receive a new one without such problems. Since it seems that Google will address this issue in October with the Android 15 (now in Beta 1.1 stage) update, the problem is most likely software-related. As usual, we will keep an eye on this story and get back with an update as soon as possible. Google has not issued an official statement yet, so it might just issue an update later this month to iron out the problem silently.

On Amazon, the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL with 128 GB currently goes for $1,099. The color choices available for this size are Hazel, Obsidian, and Porcelain.
