I was full sure I would see battery improvements moving to pixel. Given its their platform and their chipset, I dont understand why it is worse than the midrange samsung I had.

Like way worse, I struggle to get to the end of the day on days I dont drive.

Can anyone explain or do I have an issue.

    One of the same reasons Inleft Samsung!

    Yeah, I totally get it. My previous was not an OLED. My refresh rate is standard. Its just a bad phone for battery and that is mind boggling.

      Yeah going forward the next phone I get will either be a base model that I can tether other devices to or something running Linux natively.

      With Google’s continuous vadering. Android is becoming less and less viable unfortunately. I’m not a fan of Apple for the same reason. It’s ridiculous how little you own the devices you buy these days oftentimes. All I want is something that is power efficient and completely mine to do with as I see fit. But they’ve turned one against the other.

        I dont particularly care for apps or anything, just camera and nfc payments and some sort of projection for auto. Which is my remaining barrier.

        That said I will move to linux next, I just dont care enough to be part of any of this any longer
