This does not affect the device in anyway though as turning on the device works pretty well and the display is working just fine. However, Google does not expect users to hold than the power button of the Pixel 6 Pro longer than required.

It’s not like the Punch hole increased physically but we think the pixels around the punch-hole display is dead. And this makes the display around the punch hole appears to be bigger than usual.
3. Make calls on your behalf

With the Pixel 6 locked, at least two users have confirmed that the device initiated calls on their behalf while they were asleep. This doesn’t seem to be a hardware related problem and just like number 1 bug above, a software update can fix this.
