Google Pixel 3 XL Gets a Second Notch on the Side of the Screen, Thanks to Android Bug Fix Coming Soon

The latest from Google is an additional notch, over the already controversial one since its release, on the Google Pixel 3 XL, which is a result of a Android bug, that can hardly be funny as the main notch is ugly enough as per customer review. Although, it’s not a widespread issue, some users have reported the appearance of an additional notch on the right side of the display.

Not a Permanent Problem

While it hits you hard, the issue is not permanent. Users also reported that the issue went away when they restarted their devices or just fiddled with their developer settings. The reason behind the issue is not clear yet, it could be screen rotation problem mixing up the orientations.
