The Google Pixel 4's oleophobic coating apparently comes off really easily 3

The Google Pixel line has had a notorious history with poor coating on the screen, and it's not uncommon to hear someone complaining about the finish rubbing off of the screen. That oleophobic coating is meant to resist bacteria and other general grossness, but it makes the phone look terrible if it comes off.

This is already being reported over at Android Police, with some phones showing almost a complete dissipation of the coating on the bottom third of the screen. Considering the Pixel 4 has only been out for about a month, that's really not a good look.

Certain types of screen wipes can exacerbate this issue, and all phones experience this at some point in their life cycle, but it's extremely rare to see it to this extent so quickly after a phone's launch no matter how rough someone is on a phone. It's bad news if this happens to you, too, since you'll suddenly have way more fingerprints and smudges on your screen than you should normally be dealing with. On top of that, it just makes your phone dirty.

Have you experienced this on your Pixel 4, or any other phones you've had before?
