Battery life seems beyond terrible. Even 6a does much better but this is a total disappointment

Well, my phone does either bin to 12.5MP or bin to 50MP, depending on the time of the day.
Happens automatically.

The thing is Pixel 7 isn't 100€ more expansive as in the official price, it's only 38€ more expansive on German Amazon for instance.

dbjungle, 27 May 2023Agreed. If I didn't have any of these phones and just... moreSame here. I bought the 6a around 6 months ago for 200€ and I'm really not in a hurry to upgrade. Performance and battery life are totally fine. I would welcome improvements in terms of display (colorimetry) and camera (autofocus speed/accuracy) but I wont pay big money for that

I considered getting one but now I'm concerned..
Bad battery life and slow charging is a bad combo.
What good are a 90Hz screen and 5G if I have to switch them off to barely make the day?

niro56, 27 May 2023This has to be the most detail captured in a phone image pe... moreBecause they insist on using 12mp camera. All those 100+ fake megapixels physically bin to 12mp anyway. But here just increasing to 16mp shows noticeable increase in detail. If they just produced 20mp RGB 1" sensors for phones it would be next major step.

MRSTEK, 27 May 2023No, the size is nothing beautiful. It has outrageous bezels... moreI recently saw the Xiaomi 13 in a store in Germany and was very impressed by the hardware. I previously bought a lot of Xiaomi phones, but a few trends killed it for me. Google started making the Pixel A line, with the 4a having a decent design even though it was extremely plastic. Xiaomi stopped making small phones all together for a couple years. Custom ROMs became less widely available unless you're willing to roll the dice with a GSI. Xiaomi's prices have significantly increased.
The software and camera are the biggest points of emphasis for me when purchasing. I bought every Xiaomi phone except for the Mi A2 and Mi A3 with the intention of flashing a custom ROM ASAP. This simply became less reliable and too expensive to do over time especially when Google was providing everything I care about minus a glass back with the A line.

rajutee, 27 May 2023Google hasn't been quick to adopt a high refresh rate ... more"unremarkable" is poor choice of word. It means "not particularly interesting or surprising". This would indicate an average battery life.
However, we're talking about 76h of endurance rating. 76h! In 2023! It's absolutely remarkable, remarkably poor! Way below average. Is there any other phone with this much worse battery in production?
The venerable Pocophone F1 of 4 years ago had 94h endurance rating with a smaller battery.
