Google Pixel 6 series

[royfrosty]

I just felt something just doesnt add up.

Battery is huge, be it pro or none pro, SoC is somewhere comparable with all the current flagships. SoC also not say build on some different process node. The Cores config also nothing very ground breaking new etc.

Yet the battery milleage is underwhelming. Some thing is just telling me that the OS and the phone hardware is totally not optimised despite being a google phone.

Glass is glass and glass breaks​

And this is why i actually prefer the plastic build of the A series compared to the so called "premium" flagship materials.

Turn off 5g. its not an essential feature across all regions. wi-fi all day / 4g lte speeds can satisfied your needs for now. 120hz will oso significantly increase battery drain. turn it off too. wat tech ytubers dun tell you

120hz cant turn off except for low battery to save power...
Wasted function
Battery will improve, i guess expect 6-8hours SOT

If I'm buying a "Pro" model with auto variable 120hz screen, I wouln't be turning it off.
That kind of defeat the purpose of buying a Pro model.
I would feedback and press them Google to optimize the battery life if it's not hardware issue.

totally agree with this statement.
Buying a higher end device to set it to a lower end one is just sad...

It can definitely be optimized, just look at S21ultra with the same 5000mah battery.
iPhone 13 pro is an example too although different OS.

Also, if you are processing a lot of images, still or video, capturing or editing, it will definitely burn a whole lot more juice than the usual day to day usage.
My imaging sessions on iPad Pro can easily rip through 60%+ batt in a matter of 1-1.2 hours and those sessions (like insta 360 tweakings) are not even the advance kind

Iirc back in 2019 when you purchase the pixel 4 series, it qualified you for $200 to spend on your next purchase from the google store

This is good leh $200 can buy a lot of stuff

honestly P6 is the only flagship Im looking at and willing to spend on. If Google pricing here too ex, I will just go for cheaper phones like the Mi 11 Lite with SD778G/780G.

I see, let's see what price it will be here nx yr since you have a backup plan then is ok, anything that comes sg automatically becomes more ex

Monitor for Amazon US/UK. iirc, there small price discount for last year pixel.

Oops I mean sg Google store lol. Coz not getting fr overseas
