Hemedans, 24 Oct 2023Check on screen score, only Standby is bad Onscreen scores ... moreExactly. My 6a had bad standby times for about a week, then it goes really good. I think all pixel reviews, and some other phones, aren't tested for long enough. I realize they do the same tests for every phone, and they should keep doing it, but some phones will have worse battery score than they would during normal conditions

Time to stop whining about chargers not being included. You know very well why. Most people have few already a few lying around at home that work perfectly.

Yeah I don't think the tests represent the phone's true battery life in everyday tasks. I suspect that this is more in the ballpark of 90+ hours for moderate usage. It's still not great. It'll be interesting to see how long the Pro lasts, as previously it has had similar scores with the bigger battery.

Yea that looks right. My S23 had WAAAY better battery life than the P8. Which is disappointing. Shame Samsung is not root friendly in the US

Could you please elaborate on what you mean by screen off tests? Does it mean standby time test? The final score is less than that of Pixel 7. However professional and user reviews have recorded that the battery life is better than that of Pixel 7. The thermals too seems to be better than 7.
I believe you should re-evaluate your test. Somewhere something is amiss...!

How is it that the Pixel 8 has such a large decrease in talk time compared to the Pixel 7 despite the much larger battery but the Pixel 8 Pro improves from the Pixel 7 Pro in the same test with virtually no battery size change. Both have the same processors and modems.
Something doesn't seem right here and I wonder how this is even possible. It would be nice if you guys could comment on this as if this is true it leads me to believe there is an issue with the software on the regular Pixel 8 meaning this could be fixed by a Google update.

chec... morethe "talk time" category includes standby time.
So if you're not using your phone at all... which everyone does... it's burning battery faster than everything else while doing nothing.

Anonymous, 26 Oct 2023Why is the battery endurance so low i dont understand ???GSM's battery tests arent exactly accurate to most real life situations, more like a benchmark than actual realistic results. I mean no phone is getting 4-6 days usage on 1 charge, you're looking between a day or 2 based on your usage.
This should get you through a day atleast and the actual screen on times are pretty good (im sure gsm calculate like the entire stand by time with usage time, some phones do far better on standby than screen on, some vice visa, so the end endurance rating isnt accurate at all).

Anonymous, 26 Oct 20238 Pro scores 90h with 5050mAh.
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Go crappynos You should also add that is significantly better than 7 Pro and 6 Pro, especially in web browsing. Probably mainly thanks to screen which spends 2x less power than 7 Pro with the same brightness.
Still, Google should put more effort on it. I don't think they will give up Exynos next year, but hopefully Tensor G4 will be made on a basis of Exynos 2400 and it will be more power-efficient.

Wow a Xiaomi spanks the great Pixel 8 in every benchmark test. The Tensor G3 falls further back from the competition.

Does GSM have to relook at their battery scoring? Alot of emphasis is placed on talk time and less on browsing and video watching which is what the bulk of users actually use their phones for. The pixel 8 has better browsing and video times but because call times are worse it gets a far lower score than the 7? Is it the modem chip they use?

Hey GSMArena
Why no mention of the throttling on the cons section is the summary.
See you mention this with other brands that had less throttle

With a bad camera I can live. But a bad battery.... Then you gave a real problem. Next one place,
I prefer the Sony 10 v over this one,
