A pixel 2 is a 4 year old phone... I wouldn't be surprised if your battery is performing at a fraction of its original capability, and that might be slowing down performance too. It's not like Apple is immune to this either: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batterygate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batterygate
- lumost 6y agoThe pixel 2 was my 4th android, and I honestly hadn't experienced anything quite like the performance issues on the pixel 2 in the last 2 years.
- creato 6y agoYou had the last 3 phones for ~4 years each as well? Android has only existed for ~10 years... Look, it might very well be a shitty phone. Just saying that after 4 years I'd cut any phone a break. Especially since phones got impractically thin, batteries have really struggled to work the way they do when they are new after a year or two.

- richiebful1 6y agoIt's anecdotal, but I've replaced the battery on my Pixel 2 and it works like new again. I've also replaced a friend's Pixel 2 battery and they held off on buying a new phone for another year or two. Phone batteries generally lose 20% of capacity every ~500 cycles. So lumost may well have a battery with only 1/2 the original capacity or less.
