Source-linkedVerify source — Reddit post

Pixel 9 base model developed progressive OLED failure after about 1.5 years. A purple flickering spot became a permanent black spot, then a green vertical line appeared. Phone was in a Spigen case with no cracks, dents, or other cosmetic damage; cameras and other functions still worked. Owner asked about out-of-warranty RMA because similar Pixel display issues have had extended repair programs on other models.
