I’m done paying Google to be a beta tester for their experiments. No matter how much I may hate manufacturer skins on top of Android, I’d rather deal with software bugs and quirks than hardware issues.
My Pixel 6 always had issues switching from Wi-Fi to cellular, often requiring toggling airplane mode to get back data. It will be my last Google handset for a long while. Still deciding what to get next, leaning towards Samsung or OnePlus.

I’m running a Pixel 7 with GrapheneOS and honestly can’t complain about anything. It works pretty flawlessly and battery life is great.

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.

Can you try grapheneOS as a last resort? I get almost 2-day battery life on it in my 6a.

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

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 have the P8 pro with 4G. And I barely drop below 40 % during the day. And that with plenty of screen on time.

Gotta skip every other year with pixels.
