The issue could be just an single manufacturing problem, or it might be an overall lineup problem that could affect more Pixel 5 devices. We will have to wait, but as if you already ordered your Pixel 5, you probably don’t need to cancel your order since you have a one year warranty.
There’s also aΒ Reddit postΒ about this issue where you can learn more about. It’s a bug that could be fixed with a software update.
Updated: It’s software bug, fixed by factory reset.
Fixed after factory reset.
