For the record, I looked it up. The pixel falls in line with most other mainstream phones. Depending on the model it can be in the lower half, sometimes upper half, but always top ten.
Your phone seems to be specifically designed for ruggedness and battery life.
In fact of all the reviews I can find, about your phone they essentially say: it works ok as a phone but hey, I can throw it against a wall and it has awesome battery life.
So calling out the Pixel specifically and using the Oukitel as a metric is just straight up fuckery.
That's the kind of crap that needs to be left on Reddit. Go back there to post your gatekeeping bullshit.
What you said:
"the battery of the Pixel sucks balls."
I was shocked because I took you at face value and thought maybe I got lucky with mine.
Then you started talking shit about your phone working for weeks at a time and and I thought, "Who has a smartphone that works for weeks at a time without charging?"
So I looked it up. You basically have a special use phone with a battery twice the size of everyone else's. Then you get on a thread talking about Graphene OS and say, "Pixel batteries sucks balls."
Then to try and support your argument, you pull up a review that just says it "doesn't quite live up to the standard"
From the article YOU posted:
"The average result for smartphones on our test is to post a time that's just shy of 10 hours."
The Pixel 8...posted a time of 9 hours and 50 minutes on our test."
So the worse thing you can say is the Pixel's batteries are average.
So like a typical redditor, you're just shooting your bitch mouth off, half cocked, spouting bullshit, pretending you know what you're talking about.
If you were really trying to be informative, you would have said something along the lines of, "There are phones that are designed to have much longer battery life. But oh yeah, almost every other feature will be worse."
But you said, "PIXEL BATTERIES SUCK BALLS", and then provide a review that places them right at the average.
You started this conversation. Think about that next time you want to post something stupid
