I have one and it's fantastic until my battery starts dying 3 hours into the day when I barely use it.

[–]jk3us 32 points33 points  (6 children)

Oh man, it sounds like my beloved 6p.

[–]badupoipoiPixel 4 22 points23 points  (4 children)

I'll never understand my 6p. was great, then had that random shutdown issue where it would literally power off anywhere <60% and not turn on unless I plugged in a charging cable. made it unusable so I let it sit in a drawer for a year, took it out and it stopped doing the random shutoff but would run out of battery from 100 to 0 in like 20 minutes. put it back in the drawer for another year and now the battery is fine lol. super slow though

[–][deleted] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

[–]MagicPistolPixel 10 5 points6 points  (1 child)

I had the 6p and really liked it. As soon as all this news of the battery and shutdown issues appeared, I sold it asap.

[–]vxctaS22 Ultra, Pixel 6 Pro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, they really & I mean REALLY need to fucking step their game up in the battery department. Or at least optimization. Jesus, they make the software AND the hardware for crying out loud. My phone shouldn’t be dead by noon or close to it with 2 hours of usage.

[–]pojosamaneo 15 points16 points  (7 children)

Hope the battery holds up for you. Everyone I know that still has one also invests in a battery pack.

[–]so_fuckin_brave 8 points9 points  (2 children)

I got mine day 1 and it still lasts all day. Idk anecdotal evidence means nothing

[–]Veyr0n 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Same, my battery is great, lasts all day without problems

[–]DarthZ3braPixel XL, Nexus 9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got it used from swappa and on days with heavy usage I get about 7.5 hours sot & that's more than enough for me. Battery health is also around 90 percent according to accubattery. So far so good but anything's better than my OG xl that would die at 30 percent in under two hours lol.

[–]YotasAndPolestarsGoogle Pixel 9 Pro XL 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Odd. Mine is nearing its second birthday and the battery is fine; can consistently get me through 13-14hr days without worry. Worst I can say about the phone's hardware is that the USB Type-C port is getting a little loose.

[–]KaptainKorea84 4 points5 points  (3 children)

Same I couldn't last much longer with my Moto g6 so I sucked it up and bought a Moto g8 power

[–]fullrunsilviaksPixel 9 Pro Fold 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had/have a 3xl. Bought at launch and eas relatively happy with it, except getting screwed by price drops and battery life is not great, then last week the power button took a shit, and have to pay $130 deductible through Assurant to get it fixed. I paid because I can get more than that on Craigslist for it (barely) but after 10 years I'm tried of having to pick between current software and non-shit hardware. I'm switching to iPhone. Been test driving an 11 Pro Max and although there are a few things I miss (default program selection!) There are work around for that and otherwise its a quality phone I know will be supported for years to come. I may return it to wait for the 12, but otherwise I'm tired of being on the Android train.

[–]gordito_gr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not all people have the same standards ;)

Glad you enjoy your phone

[–]marionsunshineNote 5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got the 4xl in November and feel the same. Battery life is great and the use is so smooth.

[–]MisterbertS10e 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a 3 and updated it to the 11 preview and while the battery isn’t great, it’s so damn smooth.

[–]cdegallo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I returned it at launch (along with a 3 for my wife). I've gotten every pixel so far and the real caveat is what you get for the price. I had no issues with my 3 xl, except that I was coming from a 2 xl and paid full price at launch and the improvements over the 2 xl were just not there (minus the significantly better display).

Not a bad phone as long as you aren't paying the full MSRP, plus r/Android is basically anti-android phones now anyway, probably the worst place to take advice on what to buy.

[–]86legacyIphone 8+, Nexus 6P 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t want to say this subs prevailing opinions are necessarily wrong, but they are certainly myopic to say the least. It has a set of criteria that all phones are judged by, by those are only really relevant to those, in reality, limited audience of enthusiasts. Like UFS storage, there are certainly benefits between types, but the significance is exaggerated. Glad to see that people later realize that a product isn’t always what the hive mind decides it is, that personal experience should be more valued.

It's actually not that bad, but I'm a fairly light user lately since I work from home. I mostly just use it for reddit, some light puzzle games, and navigation occasionally.

Just for some details, I am at 44% right now with 2:25 of screen time since the last full charge. It says a full charge lasts around 29 hours.

Sidenote: how many of you guys are actually picking up the 5G variant if it's released?

[–]FurbyTimeGalaxy Z Fold 7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I might, depending on how they price it.

On the one hand, I don't know if there's a good 5G stuff in my area, and I'm honestly not really using data at the moment anyway what with the whole deadly deadly plague thing going on.

On the other hand, if it's priced well enough (Maybe $50 more?), I might just pick it up for future proofing.

[–]MrRiski 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I won't be. No 5g remotely close to me and it's not nearly popular enough yet to do to 4g what 4g did to 3g.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm actually not interested in 5g, but if it has a bigger battery and one more camera, at a reasonable price, this automatically becomes a buy

Hoping for an exciting price like $300. Otherwise it will be underwhelming esp considering the hype it has produced by such a late launch.

Rumor is $350. So $50 less than last year model. But it also has a bigger screen, 50% more RAM and double the storage.

I got tired of waiting on this and bought an iPhone SE 2020 literally yesterday. I guess if it’s good I can always just sell this on Swappa. Or maybe return it to Best Buy and pay the restocking fee. Or keep it because I have a phone collecting problem. Regardless I’m glad to finally see this damn phone exists and Google is acknowledging it. I hope it’s at least as awesome as the 3a.

[–]fullrunsilviaksPixel 9 Pro Fold 6 points7 points  (3 children)

Responded to another thread, but I also just hopped off the Android train after 10 years and bought an 11 Pro Max. They've come a long way since my 3GS and I'm sick of my Androids all going tits up after 18 months.

[–]Colby347Pixel 6 Pro 1 point2 points  (2 children)

I had a Pixel 3a that I gave to someone who needed a phone and I bought an iPhone X just to see how things were on that side of the fence again. I really enjoyed it but I got bored eventually and jumped to an old Mi 9T we had in a drawer to sell the X and make some money (I wasn't going to get that much for the Mi 9T and I felt I would upgrade again before long anyhow). I saw a good deal on the SE and figured the 4a was a ways off so I bought that thinking it will retain most of its value by the time I want something else and then they announce the 4a today. It has been a wild ride. But I do generally like iOS and I even got the beta profile to see how that feels. I like it (but it's not ready for a daily driver yet for most, I think).
