Battery capacity continues to be disappointing with most Google phones. They always seem to choose them on the lower-end side compared to the competition.
The phone is a good value overall, but 3,100 mAh will hardly last you one day and be almost empty by night. I prefer phones with more generous batteries, so that there's never a risk of running out by the end of the day.
Hopefully Pixel 5a will come with 4,500-5,000 mAh next year, as many low-end $200-$300 phones have these days.
- csours 6y agoI dream of the day where Pixel or iPhone has solid state batteries.
- ShamelessC 6y agoYeah the battery on my Pixel 4 is pretty bad even after I turned off all the machine learning features that make it a unique device in the first place.
- nfriedly 6y agoI 100% agree with you. My Pixel 2 is now ~2.5 years old and the performance is still perfectly fine, except that I have to charge it twice a day. It usually lasted a full day when it was new, though. I'm interested in some of the recent flagships and gaming phones that have 5-6000mAh batteries and settings to not charge up to 100% every night. Once the battery is big enough, you can do things like that to extend the longevity. I'm hoping to see more of that.
