Google has confirmed from its users about the new Pixel 5. The company said that there is no effect on the water and dust resistance or functionality of your phone, even with the display gap, which is said to be a normal design.
The users also reckon that a visible gap between the display and the body of the phone has no drawbacks to the phone usage. The support thread additionally addresses what many users were most concerned about whether that gap would compromise the Pixel 5’s water resistance.
However, Google made it clear that the gap will have “no effect on the water and dust resistance or functionality of your phone.” It’s not clear how widespread the display gap issue is on Pixel 5 devices.
On various user responses in the support thread show, some devices appear to be impacted to a greater extent than others. But while the gap may look concerning, it’s reassuring to know that it shouldn’t have any functional impact on your device.
