Google Pixel 10 Users Spot Coloured Stripes On Display Within Days Of Launch

The Pixel 10 series has only just started reaching customers, but early buyers are already reporting problems with the device’s display in some regions. Several users have taken to social media platforms like Reddit, and outlets such as Android Authority have picked up on the complaints. The common issue? Coloured stripes – often red, green, or blue – appearing across the screen, making the phone difficult or sometimes impossible to use.

Some users say the glitch disappears after locking and unlocking the phone, but for others, it keeps recurring. At this point, it’s unclear whether the problem is related to hardware – such as the display panel, graphics chip, or even the motherboard – or if it’s a software bug that Google could potentially fix with an update.

Google hasn’t commented publicly yet, leaving Pixel 10 Pro owners in frustration. If you’re affected, the safest move is to contact Google Support or consider getting an exchange, especially before replacement wait times stretch out.

The timing is particularly unfortunate for Google. The Pixel 10 series, which started shipping on August 28, is the first Pixel in years to use a TSMC-made chip, bringing noticeable gains in battery life. Google also introduced the Material 3 Expressive interface, giving the phones a cleaner, more modern look. But these early screen issues threaten to overshadow those improvements and could revive concerns about the reliability of Google’s hardware.

Whether this turns out to be a quick software fix or a bigger hardware issue that may require replacements or even a recall, Google will need to act fast to maintain user trust. Early impressions matter, and for a flagship phone, first impressions are everything.

According to Android Authority, Google’s official PixelCommunity Reddit account is reaching out to users reporting the issues, to gather more information and release a response.

In the meantime, Pixel 10 Pro owners should document any recurring display issues and keep an eye on official updates. A quick action now could save a lot of frustration later.
