Owners of the Google Pixel, as well as the Google Pixel XL, are reporting regarding the problems they are encountering when they are using their camera applications on their smartphones. The camera on Google’s new Pixel lineup is one of its most highlighted features. An impressive sensor, Pixel and Pixel XL are capable of taking some stunning pictures and videos. However, we have seen a number of issues coming up in the phones’ camera.
Google Pixel Glitch: Pink And Purple Lines On Camera
Google’s Pixel smartphone series have proven to produce stunning photos and videos with their 12.3MP camera applications. However, the cameras may not be perfect to free from flaws. A new issue occurred just this week and it has something to do with how the Pixel cameras cause the camera app to lock and produce pink and purple lines on the screen.
According to International BusinessTimes, The new issue with the Pixel cameras is being reported by numerous users on Google’s own forum page. For some reason, the camera app would simply just freeze as users start to take a picture. What’s more alarming is that the camera app would then display mysterious pink and purple lines across the screen. In some cases, taking videos are also affected by the same issue.
Mike Fox, the first person to report the issue back in October, said that Google actually provided him with a replacement Pixel. Unfortunately for him, the replacement model that he got still came with the same issue. Orrin, Pixel Community Manager said addressing the reported issue:
Hey Mike and Christoph,
We'd like to dig into this and investigate further. I am going to follow up over email to request a bug report.
Be on the lookout for my email!
Some Pixel users believe the bug is somehow related to low cellular connectivity, while others have suggested it only affects the International Pixel models. Google and its official forum representatives were quick to respond and attempt to troubleshoot the issue, as reported by Express.
