      I’ve almost never had an issue. Like ever, unless I forget to set my phone on a charger when I went to bed. And even then, it would just be in the single digits by the end of the second night.

      I think I’ve had my phone die on me twice since I’ve had it (Pixel 6 Pro).

        I have an Oukitel and it uses 10% per day with medium usage. GPS and some video calling uses 20% on a day. Before that I used another Oukitel that only had a 720p screen. I could go for 20+ days on a single charge with not much usage.

        These 1 charge per day devices are horrendous.

        It’s ok if you don’t travel a lot, or always go home. But I tend to travel and be gone for the weekends.

          Great. I don’t need that. That’s not even close to a selling point.

          I guess if I needed to hike without a power source for a week, it would be.

              I disagree. I think that claiming something “sucks balls” because it will only last two days of normal use before dying, if you don’t charge it all all, is absolutely ludicrous.

              If I just text and leave my screen dim, I could get a whole week out of my phone. But that’s not why I got a smart phone. I got a smart phone so I could use it, not see how long I could get the battery to last.

                You can disagree all you want. I am not here to discuss it. You asked why and I explained why.

                No need to hate on people that don’t fall within your own demographic.

                  For the record, I looked it up. The pixel falls in line with most other mainstream phones. Depending on the model it can be in the lower half, sometimes upper half, but always top ten.

                  Your phone seems to be specifically designed for ruggedness and battery life.

                  In fact of all the reviews I can find, about your phone they essentially say: it works ok as a phone but hey, I can throw it against a wall and it has awesome battery life.

                  So calling out the Pixel specifically and using the Oukitel as a metric is just straight up fuckery.

                  That’s the kind of crap that needs to be left on Reddit. Go back there to post your gatekeeping bullshit.

                    Buddy. I said “some people”. If you want to start calling names, and you’re talking about reddit, at least don’t be a hypocrite with your “i talk for everybody” mentality. Do you know what “some” means?

                    Anyways, you talked bout your phone and gave your perspective, I talked about mine and gave mine. The only valid point you have is that it should be compared to others in the same segment, which I did. Because I didn’t mention my own phone in my original reply. I just replied to your personal experience and I gave mine about how some people do not want that and want good battery life, with a personal example.

                    If you’re talking about comparing it to others in the segment, I think you’re either reading biased sources or are just lying about it. https://www.tomsguide.com/news/google-pixel-8-battery-life “they didn’t quite live up to the standard set by phones in their price range” Literally one of the first results for “google pixel battery”

                    Now please, there are other people that want other things in the world. No need to be an asshole about it.

        I think only their way of emulating play store apps is heavy on the battery. But I could be mistaken.
