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.

    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
