Good news for those that keep their phones for multiple years. It made sense for them to do this.

    It’s weird because every Pixel I’ve had has had awful battery life. Pixel 2, 5, 6, and 7. But, in between those I’ve used different OnePlus phones and they had great battery life. I loved my OnePlus 7 Pro.

      I dunno what to say besides being anecdotal also by saying my experience differs… especially with the P5.

      I’m not surprised with Oneplus’ battery being better as they’re notorious for background app killing. It’s the reason why I’ve only had a couple of Oneplus’ phones throughout the years.

        Oh, I know it’s anecdotal. I also know others have issues with the Pixel 6 and 7 getting really hot.

        Yeah, that’s true. They definitely are aggressive at app killing. The thing is I can’t tell what is using the battery in the background on the Pixels.

          Yep… fully aware of some saying their devices are getting hot. My Pixel 6 Pro got hot exactly once while navigating here in LA. Not sure what caused it, but it was hot to the point that I had to hold it to one of the ac vents. My 7 Pro got only slightly warm occasionally and I’m having similar experiences with the Fold. Not to say that it’s a normal thing, but it’s hot to the extent that others have experienced.

          It’s like the fingerprint sensor complaint. I could repeatedly get my prints to register without fail when some others were having issues. I’m almost worried that Google is switching to an ultrasonic sensor instead of optical because I haven’t had the same luck with the ultrasonic sensor that Samsung used in the S21 Ultra and S23 Ultra. I dunno. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

          Anyhow, hope that your next phone, Pixel or otherwise, treats you better.
