There have been some strange issues with my 8 pro that resemble hardware connection issues or even the start of bad memory chunks. (The display glitches are mentioned in the article, actually.)
The new screen capture feature is buggy as all hell and is prone to buffer issues after long periods of spot translation.
Some of the glitches are subtle enough to make me think it's something crunchy in the physical hardware. Many people simply wouldn't notice the issues, TBH.
Like all hardware bugs, it'll likely take a bit of time to manifest fully. Being cynical, I would probably say the failures will fully manifest around the Pixel 10 release timeframe.
