Thinking of upgrading to a 7, probably Pro when Black Friday deals hit. My 6Pro battery life sucks shit, I’ve replaced the battery with an OEM one and not much better. I use my phone throughout the day, but most of it is streaming with the screen off. Always needs to be charged. Normal amounts of random app use and browsing.
All day. Pixel 7 Pro.
Hammered towards the end of the day but I don’t have to charge. I always charge on a low wattage which seems to keep the battery going
Personally I’d not upgrade from 6 to 7 but that’s me. 6 was a bad year. I held off even though my OnePlus 6t was really dying - broken connectors etc.
See if you can make it to the 9 mock up start coming out and the prices will tank. Google seems to be chasing the best seller prize and prices crash early.
Don’t buy an ‘a’ again.
Thanks, I’m happy with the hardware and would keep it, but given I already gave it a battery and it’s still the same, it’s just gotta go. I try to always go new, but a gen behind. It’s like buying a model year car, make believe value, by year 2 you’re paying (around) what it’s actually worth.
I hear you. My phone is about the only thing I buy new-new, just because of the battery and it has to work without hiccups.
I hang around the YouTube reviews until the notable ones say the battery is ok. They were saying the P6 battery sucked fairly early on.
I’m not a gamer but the battery life on the Pixel 7 Pro is great. I have quite a few apps set on “unrestricted” rather than “optimised” with “app battery usage”; like a birthday app from F-Droid which is supposed to notify of birthdays in advance - so I can buy cards and post them over seas. Didn’t seem to make any difference in the battery life that I could see - I don’t monitor the Screen on Time.
Good luck. I’m sorry you had to buy another battery and it didn’t solve your problems.
