Not a huge upgrade, but nice nonetheless. Still no reason to upgrade from my 6a though.

[–] Spukas 1 points 1 year ago

Same for me. On the other hand i would strongly consider it if the rumors about desktop mode over usb-c are true.

I don't mind the slow charging at all if that means my non serviceable battery lasts longer. But a slightly bigger capacity bump would've been nice

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Same. I only charge mine every other night to hopefully increase its lifespan. I hate buying new phones.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I read the title wrong. I thought you only get a small battery and have to pay for a charging upgrade...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Same lol, I was like "why is it going to have a small battery? That seems like an odd choice"

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Hopefully they fix the battery. The one in the the 7 Pro is trash.

How has it been for you? I haven't had much of an issue with battery life. On the days where I use my phone sparingly I get 2-3 days of life. On the days where I use it to browse, listen to music, and watch videos I may squeeze a full day.

One caveat for me however, I do use GrapheneOS and a great deal of google services are neutered on my phone.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I barely get through a day with decent use. I'm also noticing overheating issues in some cases.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Mine is great on Graphene

[–] delirium 1 points 1 year ago

This is so strange to be honest, my pixels battery was great for the last few months, better than ever (I leave to work with 80 abd coke back home with around 40 almost every day)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And hopefully, a flat screen

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'm with you. All the leaks I've seen so far have said it'll be flat. The curved screen protectors are awful and I've broken my Pixel 6 Pro's screen twice now. It's otherwise been a great phone, but I won't buy another curved screen phone ever again.

Can't wait for the actual reveal to finally decide between P8P and S23
