    Oh my god, battery life is atrocious. What the hell went wrong?

      Google has to solve 2 important things: better battery life and faster charge. I mean 18W is shameful, not acceptable anymore, even budget class charge way faster. Give us at least 45W or so.

        Anonymous, 26 May 2023Battery life seems terribleRight! This is a big NO for me.

          what's wrong some battery melts like butter in the sunshine, combination of google's hunger for user privacy and soc that isn't really good

            Pixel 7a it's a nice phone, one of the best midrangers out there, their real competitors are in house, 6a offers almost the same package for way less and the 7 it's a better phone for the same price. But once it's gets a price cut it will find it's place. Seems like GSMArena's device had some battery problem as it must have a very similar battery endurance as the 7.

              I don't know why they didn't compare the image quality to that of the 6a; most reviewers agree that it's not that much better and the regular user won't notice the difference.
              I think buying a used Pixel 7 or even a new Pixel 6a makes way more sense than buying this bad device

                So all I'd get is a higher-frame screen and a better camera over my current pixel 6a? Not worth the money
                The battery live will change after a few patches, wouldn't focus on it
                I guess I'll just underclock my 6a for increased efficiency. I don't really need the performance anyway

                  Bodygard, 26 May 2023"Don't get a Pixel 7 - pick the 7a instead" ... moreShould be priced not more than 300$

                      AnonD-1101735, 26 May 2023How do you know ? 😔Because 100% wireless is incovenient. Meizu quit that project for obvious reasons.

                      1) qi charging is low efficiency, generates much more heat = bad for battery

                      2) wifi is no near as fast to transfer files as wired. Huge % of iphone sales are in USA where so many have low speed internet, majority of homes have no more than 20Mbps. Even worse if using mobile data, which connection is way low stability than wifi

                      3) you cant install manually firmware if phone is not turned on.

                          LoneOwl, 26 May 2023How the hell can Pixel with stock android 1080p 90hz screen... moreThe only explanation that makes sense to me is they did the battery tests while Google's server-side battery drain glitch was happening. It doesn't make sense that 7a's call and standby time would be this much worse than 6a and 7.

                                      Pixel decreases price at almost to same value of A.

                                      Should have skipped 7a and made 8a for october
