I read that you can turn off ‘Always-On Display’ to save battery too. It’s not essential for me; I’m okay with checking my screen manually!
Good point! I also use a dark wallpaper; it saves some battery on AMOLED screens.
I always tell my friends to keep their apps updated. Some updates help with battery performance. Anyone else noticed that?

I’m curious, does anyone use third-party battery apps? I’ve heard mixed reviews about their efficiency on Pixel 2.
I’ve tried some, but they mostly just clutter my phone. I prefer the built-in options. They are typically enough if properly managed! Just gotta keep it simple!
I’ve had the Pixel 2 for over a year now. The battery life is decent but doesn’t really compare to my friend’s Galaxy S8. I usually need to charge it by the end of the day.
That’s interesting! I found my Pixel 2’s battery to be better than the iPhone 8. I could easily get through a day with moderate usage.
I’ve noticed that the Pixel 2’s performance dips significantly with newer updates. It was good at launch, but now it’s just okay. Anyone else feel this way?
Totally agree! My Pixel 2 struggles after the last update too, especially with screen-on time. It just doesn’t stack up to newer models.
Has anyone tried using battery-saving modes? I find they help extend the Pixel 2’s battery during long days out. Curious if it’s effective for others.
Yes! Using power-saving features makes a noticeable difference, especially compared to my old Nexus 5, which would die way too quickly.
Honestly, I think the Pixel 2’s battery life is often overrated. If you’re a heavy user, look elsewhere. The OnePlus 5 has a way bigger battery and lasts longer in most cases.
True, but the OnePlus 5 is also bulkier. The Pixel 2 is compact and still gets the job done for casual users. It’s all about needs!
I’ve been using the Pixel 2 for a while now and I enjoy its battery life! Although, I can’t compare it directly to other flagships. What should I focus on if I upgrade?

Look for battery capacity and optimization! Newer phones like the Pixel 4 have really improved in this area. The Pixel 2 is solid, but the competition has caught up.

You know, the battery life is like that friend who always shows up late! The Pixel 2 can be reliable but at times just disappears too quickly.
Ha! That’s a perfect analogy. I’d say it’s a decent budget option but I wouldn’t choose it for heavy usage over something like the S9.
