Google: The Pixel 5's screen gap is part of the design, not a flaw

Rhetoric or not? Perhaps, given Google's response. Remember the Pixel 5 screen gap issue? An annoying construction problem according to the first surveys that, at first glance, could make users turn up their noses. The cost of the device is not negligible, it is more dthe $ 600 for a manufacturing defect…it's not the best. However, the brand seems to respond with a particular comment: it seems that this is not a manufacturing defect but a design element. A tease or the Mountain View giant is really convinced to give it to drink to all users who bought the smartphone? Let's see what one of the moderators and spokesperson of the official forum has to say.

No flaws for Google Pixel 5: the space between the screen and the body is just a design gimmick, all calculated. But will it be that serious?

We don't want to stick to the terms used, but if Google use such a justification other than words: she will be forced to move against a class action. According to what is reported on the official forum that you find in the source, the flaw (or so it seemed) according to which the Google Pixel 5 has a gap between the display and the body it's not a real flaw. Rather, it is a design element, calculated by the company in the construction phase. Besides this problem it would not affect in any way the impermeability of the device nor the protection against dust.

The first concern of users was that related to IP68 certification which protects the device from water splashes and dust. According to the moderator, however:

We have had the opportunity to examine customer units and, combined with our quality control data from the factory, we can confirm that the variation in the distance between the body and the display is an integral part of the design of the Pixel 5. There is no effect on the resistance to water and dust or the functionality of the phone. We will work with clients on an individual basis to address any concerns they may have.

From the official blog

A somewhat bizarre justification for divert attention from an obvious manufacturing problem. Fortunately, the defect manifests itself as soon as the device is removed from the box and not after days of use. In the latter case the problem would have been greater than it could have been easily attributable to the user.

However, it must be specified that the Google Pixel 5 enjoys double protection: the display, in addition to the adhesive, is fixed to the frame by five clips.
