Google's new flagship smartphones have been hit by complaints about the quality of the screen, reported BBC.
Tech reviewers, who have had the device for about two weeks, noticed "burn in" on the display, while others noted "muddy" discolouration on the screen.
Google said it was investigating the issue, which it took "very seriously".
Google's new line, the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL, are its attempt to break into the smartphone market dominated by Apple and Samsung.
Last year's Pixel was well-received by reviewers, but sold poorly. It accounted for just 0.5% of the global market.
The Pixel 2 was made by HTC, while the Pixel 2 XL was made by LG.
A Pixel 2 XL review unit provided to the BBC by Google suffered from mild burn-in - the term given to when a screen is permanently marked by images that have been on screen for an extended period of time.
