“Over time, this coating wears off, but it usually takes at least a few months or years of intense usage,” Schoon reports. “On the Pixel 2 XL, however, some owners are having this come up within just a couple of weeks.”

Schoon reports, “Once the coating wears off, there’s no way to get it back to its original state without a screen replacement.”
