Some Pixel 3 XL users are reporting that an extra notch
has appeared on the side of their phone’s
screen.
The Pixel 3 XL was already chided
at launch for its large notch, which takes up a good chunk of
the screen. -
The glitch appears to be easily fixable — changing some
developer settings or resetting the phone should do the
trick. -
Google says it’s aware of the glitch, and a fix is
coming soon.
If one large notch on your Pixel 3 XL wasn’t enough, your phone
might randomly choose to grow a second, virtual one.
Some Pixel 3 XL users are reporting a strange (and honestly
pretty funny) glitch: the appearance of an extra notch located on
the right-hand side of the phone’s screen. The glitch, which only
seems to be happening to a few users, is pretty easy to get rid
of — changing some developer settings or resetting the phone
should do the trick,
Android Police reports.
The Pixel 3 XL comes with the option to add an extra notch at the
bottom of the screen for symmetry, but the sideways notch is not
an intended feature.
Google told Business Insider it’s aware of the glitch, and a fix
should be coming soon. In the meantime, here’s what the glitch
looks like:
