There have been reported issues about the display on the pixel 2 XL, though one is green. Burning wherein remnants of images remain on the screen, despite not being actively displayed screen. Burning does happen on different types of displays, but usually after some time.

The fact that it's happening on such a premium and expensive phone so soon as a red flag, Google issued a statement saying that the pixel 2 excels. Burning issue was in line with that of other premium smartphones and should not affect the normal day-to-day user experience.
