Thinking of upgrading to a 7, probably Pro when Black Friday deals hit. My 6Pro battery life sucks shit, I've replaced the battery with an OEM one and not much better. I use my phone throughout the day, but most of it is streaming with the screen off. Always needs to be charged. Normal amounts of random app use and browsing.

My Pixel 7 battery lasts all day. (From 8am to 11pm typically )

I usually spend a solid 6 hours a day on the phone with a Bluetooth headset, and I also listen to mp3s that are stored on my phone for a couple of hours. I text, email, use Lemmy and the web regularly, play on lichess.org, but I never stream videos or do video calls.

Around 11pm, the battery is below 20%. If I spend more time on the phone than usual, then I have to recharge around 7 or 8pm to make sure I still have enough power through the evening. Audio calling with an app like Skype, WhatsApp, WeChat, or Zoom uses more battery than with a regular phone call.

On an off day, with no more than 2 or 3 hours on the phone, my battery is still at 45% at 11pm, sometimes even almost 60. I feel I could skip charging it overnight if I had 2 off days in a row.

Recently I upgraded to a pixel 8, and the battery life is the same, even though I have twice as much memory, and I turned on most of the bells and whistles to test them out.

My 6-month old pixel 7 is now used by an elderly person who just texts occasionally, makes short calls and checks the newsfeed/weather. The battery now lasts at least 2 days, probably more.
