Pixel Peril: March Update Brings Flickering Brightness Bug for Some Owners
Display Brightness Bug Affects Some Google Pixel Users After March 2025 Update
The March 2025 update for Google Pixel devices, which includes new features and bug fixes, has introduced a frustrating display brightness issue. Affected users report that the screen brightness flickers or changes randomly during video playback on apps like Netflix, Prime Video, and YouTube. This problem is not related to ambient light conditions and occurs inconsistently. Some users have found temporary relief by setting their display to 60Hz mode. Given the widespread reports, Google is expected to release a patch to address the issue in the coming weeks. The update has also caused minor haptic feedback problems for some users.
