    I need to charge my Pixel 7a 2-3 times/day. I’m at 21%. My phone was at 100% 12 hours ago. Only 1h37m screen-on time.

    This is the worst battery life I’ve ever had from a phone. So, I’m not surprised the Pixel 8 is also bad.

    I’m going to sell this phone and get something else. This will be my first time ever selling a phone before running it into the ground; my last phone was a Pixel 3a I got 4 years from.

      I thought I’m worse off with my 5 year old Poco F1 which only has a half-day battery and I average a 3 hour SOT each charge session. I am quite surprised that the battery is worse as I expected the Tensor G2 to be more efficient than the SDM845.

        I can’t, unfortunately. I need pretty tight Google integration for work. I tried it initially, but it was far too janky for me.
