My P8P battery life CMI already... And I want a smaller phone.

Plus I'm impressed by Gemini live free version so the one year free Gemini advanced is also attractive.

I'm using 9 Pro XL and honestly, the battery life like not significantly better than Pixel 8 Pro....

I see others commenting that battery life is way better for them though......

Cheaper abit only but not so significant. The difference is just the camera shutter is a must due to their Japan regulations. Or unless u root ur way to disable the shutter sound.

Iirc the Japanese sets have the Japan variant of the ROM included with the phones. So theocratically if you flash the normal global factory image it should bring your shutter sound back. But don't quote me on that.

IN any case if you're able to get the phone for cheap from JP, it might still be worth it after all.
