Smaller iphones have poor battery life and when pixels appear competitive when compared to them.

Super Android 22, 26 Oct 2023GSM's battery tests arent exactly accurate to most rea... moreThey aren't exactly accurate and no test can be. But out of all tests out there by reviewers, this seems much better controlled and reliable. Most importantly, all phones here undergo same tests so at least there's consistency. If pixel has gone through this "inaccurate" test, so did Samsung and Xiaomi etc. And that's where it cancels out. Using same "inaccurate" tests they're scoring 105hr or more endurance rating. What's so special about pixel that suddenly we have to disregard those tests?
It's too apparent that tensor is at fault but some people don't wanna confess.

Along with no jack, sdcard and FM radio.
They are big, they should show some balls, maybe get the companys to think twice about removing stuff from smartphones.
I know I know, but one can dream

Divide the number by 4 if you're a moderate user for the actual battery life, 6x if you're a heavy user.

But since when is it acceptable that companies release unfinished products? Every recent Google phone gave the impression that they are beta products when they came out because they needed so much fixing. I think it's unacceptable for a product that costs $600-1000 or even more.
I guess that's capitalism and especially American business culture that is spreading.

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.

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.
