I’ve had to move to a Pixel 7a as a surprise replacement. I’m content enough with it, performance is acceptable, but battery life is worse than I’d like. How do people get by with a 7a? Buy a bunch of wireless chargers? Buy a magsafe case? I don’t see any battery cases so I imagine that’s not an option. Any recommendations would be great, thanks.

    I’m not sure if the same can be said for the 7a, but a close friend of mine was having awful battery experiences on his 7. I saw a lot of people saying their battery was vastly improved on the Android 14 Beta so I told him to try it and he’s said it’s a night and day difference. May be worth a shot.

      I think android 13 had a great battery life on day 1. But now it feels much worse to me. Right before android 14 is released.

      So I wonder if 14 will just restore the battery life once it’s released. Or will actually surpass it.

      Ooo thank you. I’d be surprised if there weren’t similar results, they’re very similar. I just haven’t worried about my phone battery for years and find myself obsessively looking for battery improvement tips so I’d looove it if it gave a serious improvement. Thanks again!
