What's the Real Battery Life Like on the Pixel XL?

Yes! My charging has been a rollercoaster too. It sometimes charges slowly or not at all. What chargers are you guys using?

I’m using the original charger, and still face issues. Maybe it’s the cable? I read that third-party chargers can be risky.

Not to be dramatic, but my Pixel XL’s battery life feels like a bad horror movie - it just keeps draining away!

Haha, I feel that! It’s like a plot twist I didn’t ask for. Have you tried streaming in low power mode? It does help a bit.

I upgraded my Pixel XL and noticed the battery life didn’t improve much. Is it just me or is it a known issue?

You’re definitely not alone! It’s frustrating when you expect improvement and end up disappointed. Try recalibrating your battery!

I’m having issues with battery draining overnight while in airplane mode. Anyone figured this out?

That’s super odd! Maybe you have some rogue app running? Check battery usage in settings.

I’ve often wondered if my Pixel XL’s battery is just shy. It won’t last through a full day with moderate use! It’s draining faster than my hopes for a long-distance relationship.

Lol, I get that! Maybe it’s time to consider a battery replacement. They do wear out over time!

Honestly, I’ve noticed an improvement after clearing some unused apps. Could it be that simple?

I’ve been using the Pixel XL for almost two years now. It generally gets me through a full day on moderate use, but heavy gaming can drain it fast. Compared to my old iPhone, the Pixel feels less reliable.

I agree! My Pixel XL tends to last a full day with regular usage. For anyone looking for better battery life, I’d recommend checking out the Galaxy S21. It really impressed me.

The Pixel XL’s battery life is decent, but don’t expect miracles. If you’re constantly on the go, consider something like the OnePlus 8 - I’ve heard great things about its battery performance.

I’ve played around with the OnePlus 8, and it’s solid! But I still think the Pixel’s camera is better, which is a trade-off for me.

I find that the Pixel XL runs out of juice quicker when running background apps. I’ve switched to battery saver mode to extend its life. Have you tried that?

Yes, I use battery saver too! Helps a little, but I’m still shopping for something with a longer-lasting battery. Any suggestions?

If battery life is a key concern, maybe look into the Moto G Power. It boasts 3 days of use on a single charge, and it’s budget-friendly.

That sounds tempting! I just want something that doesn’t die on me during the day.

I’ve also read that the Pixel 6 has significantly improved battery life. If you’re not set on the XL, it could be a good option to consider.
