Google: Pixel 2 XL screen burn 'should not affect day-to-day user experience'

Company says only a small handful of review devices have been affected and that tests show device behaves same as other OLED-based devices

Following reports of defective screens in the first batch of Pixel 2 XL smartphones, Google says that its tests show so-called burn is not a widespread issue.
