  • 7 pro since launch day here. Always had really disappointing battery life.

    I used mine for very trivial tasks. On WiFi virtually all day, indoors most of the day. I use my phone casually–no video games, no video chat apps. I will take it off the charger at 7:45am and use it for MAYBE 2.5h of screen time over the course of 11-12h during the day and I’ll be at 35% battery left. If I do ANYTHING just shortly taxing and I have to charge it midday.

    Google soc and hardware choices are very power inefficient.

    My wife has a 7a and also had disappointing battery life.

    Google isn’t on a good path so far I’m my opinion.

    For the first time I’m completely disinterested in what Google is doing with their pixel phones. I went to an S23 ultra and battery life has been nothing sorry of amazing, and the concerns I used to have with camera on Samsung phones isn’t really an issue to me anymore.


  • I wish google would have tool parity between what shows up in the Google Photos app on a phone and what shows up on photos.google.com. Even as a Google One subscriber that has access to the features/tools that are otherwise pixel phone exclusives. There’s still no object eraser on the web. And I do wish google would change what tools are made available for a photo. For example, one photo I have, in the “tools” section of photos.google.com, has the “Blur,” “Sky,” and “Color Focus” options. Another photo has “Portrait Light,” “Blur,” and “Color Focus.”

    The inconsistencies are annoying; I don’t want to be relegated to doing everything on my phone when it comes to playing with photos in google photos.
