This is one of those “is it this way for everyone, or just me?” problems that I didn’t think was a thing until I asked around. Our own Harish Jonnalagadda noticed that his Pixel 4 XL’s oleophobic coating was all but gone in the bottom third of the screen with just a couple weeks of light use. I felt vindicated because I’d been observing my own Pixel 4 XL‘s screen retaining a ton of fingerprint smudges compared to all of my other phones. No, I wasn’t crazy; and I wasn’t alone in dealing with wiping off my Pixel’s screen more often than any other phone I’ve used … since the Pixel 3.

Nope, it’s not just you: the Pixel 4 seemingly has the same bad oleophobic coating.

Yes the oleophobic coating wears off on other phones, too, but seemingly never at the rapid rate it does on Pixels.

I’m questioning how much of a ‘coating’ there really is to begin with.

The Pixel 4’s coating is so thin and easy to remove that I’m questioning how much of a “coating” there really is to begin with. Seeing a fully worn-off area on Harish’s screen after just a couple weeks of use is baffling. Mine is slightly better, but the bottom half of the screen is now, 5 weeks into using it, im
