Fast charging does not have to affect battery life - proven year and year again by Vooc and other alternatives.
As Pixel 7 Pro users, charging speed does not bother me, but saying fast charging = bad; that is just a nonsense.

    Loc, 26 Oct 2022Fast charging is not good for the battery my friend. That i... moreMy father's 2 years old Realme 7 Pro (with 65W charging) thinks differently. The battery is still good inside (1 day battery life with medium to heavy usage, almost like in the beginning). And my father uses his phone all the time and he charges it daily.
    This is how I know the myth with super fast charging breaking your battery in 1-2 years, is busted. Of course, I am not saying the battery is 95% after 2 years, but is not 70% either. Maybe around 85-87%, which is normal degradation after 2 years. I saw a lot of iPhones with this kind of battery health after 2 years (even with super slow charging).
    In my opinion, there are no excuses for Apple or Google, to still use super slow charging in 2022.

            notafanboy, 26 Oct 2022Perhaps you're the deluded one here? Compare the price... moreYou're deluded because there isn't much difference in price now, only takes a search to find out. S22 still slightly more expensive but makes no difference to one who will buy these. If you spend 1000 why not 200 more? Regardless, they both are unjustifiably expensive devices. Ones who disagree are either born rich so these price tags normal to them, or, they're deluded. Most people are of second category. They think these prices are justified even if they can't afford it, or barely afford it by starving and spending over 50% of monthly income, lol. These are the unhappiest people around. I'm quite sure you belong to latter, deluded category. Lol again.

                Wow! Such a support from commenters for price!
                But let's be honest, this phone shouldn't be compared to 2022 flagships because of outdated tensor 2. Lets make honest comparison with 888 snap phones flagships are always overpriced for cutting edge tech, especially chips.
                For example Xperia 1 III:

                -World class screen "4k" @ 120HZ ✓ (better than "QHD" and no notch whatsoever)
                -Iconic & unmistakable design w/ premium build ✓
                -IP68 Certified & Gorilla Glass victus on all sides ✓ (well gorilla 6 on back but it's frosted!)
                -Camera quality is in a league of its own ✓ (don't even try to argue, just checked comparison in GSMArena, it doesn't give you a rainbow on bw parts of ISO12233 as Pixel does, for lovers of GCam it's available for Xperia too)
                -Video quality is finally improved, and on par with current flagships ✓
                -Clean, pure software with no bloatware whatsoever, great support and unique features ✓

                And it retails in Europe now for 700-800euro, undercuts pixel, lets assume this is cost of reduced software support. But it also have 30w charger, jack, memory card, cool purple color)))

                Ah yes, I've forgot, I shouldn't have touched so praised icon, and will receive a lot of hate in response, especially from Sony haters.

                    I did some tests and it seems that in good light conditions, Night Sight + 15x zoom gives you slightly better results from distant objects than 10x zoom or 30x zoom.

Therefore the battery does worse longterm as temperature is what an battery makes age the fastest.

Photos are where the Pixel devices truly dominate and honestly there is no competition there from the samples I've seen. I only have the P7 and the pictures I get look quite incredible. It also helps that the AI in this phone is so far ahead of everyone else. The "unblur" is actually incredible, live transcribe is so accurate that I can actually use it in meetings and not worry about anything being missed. PPL are saying the battery life is bad but if you actually look at the numbers that matter, web browsing and video playback, it actually isn't too far behind the S22U and is actually matching that of the OP10 Pro. 13h web and 16h video on OP10Pro but P7P has 12h web and 17h video. No one I know needs to talk on their phone for 24 hours straight, at most my phone calls are a few minutes a day....

                              How is the phone rated at 4,4 stars if it has a major disadvantages such as below average battery life and slow charging? I get that, not every aspect of a phone has to be top notch, but battery life is actually what many potential customers care about.

                                Google chooses the first option. So does samsung , apple and sony.

                                  Lackluster features, battery life and performance for a flagship device - if you can even call it that given the Tensor2 is such a letdown.

                                  Not worth the price Google is asking for this, either go for the non-pro 7 or wait for the 7a?

                                      Overall good phone (coming from P6P). Other than scrolling which feels REALLY janky and mediocre battery life, no complaints from me.
