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.

    Which Pixel do you have? I know for a long time Pixel had bad modems which drained the battery very fast. If you live in a region with bad reception it can get even worse. It’s also related to Pixel’s heat issues.

        It’s an update from a few months ago that Google hasn’t bothered to fix. About an hour after unplugging your phone go into settings>battery>battery usage and force close whichever apps are using hella battery. I’ve also noticed far fewer issues if I’m connected to WiFi but I haven’t seen anyone else report that yet.
