battery life is incredible after update to Android 10

Anyone else have this experience?

Yep yep couldn't agree more so.

 

[EMGSM]

I hope I get the same experience. I just finished downloading.

 

[GTvert90]

I thought the same thing

That's one of the changes they listed, so it should be.

Wasn't aware but wow what a difference!!

Hmmmm....hasn't been my experience at all. I wonder if it is because I updated from the Beta. Still barely, BARELY, making through a day.

 

[EMGSM]

Still a little early as I just got the update earlier today. So far all looks promising.

Heavy user here. I can only make the Pixel 3 last a whole day if I purposely avoid using it too much. Battery life before and after update is about the same for me so far.

I was already getting incredibly good battery life on 9..... I'm not sure how it could get much better without starting to affect the way my phone works. So far 10 seems to be doing just as good as 9. I wonder if some folks did a factory reset after installing 10, that alone will increase battery life on any phone that hasn't been reset in awhile, and has had third party apps installed on it.

And by the same token, a phone that has been in use for quite awhile with apps installed on it and no recent factory reset, might not show any battery improvement when upgraded to 10, and maybe even worse battery life depending. My phone was recently factory reset, and I haven't installed any apps on it, and the battery life on 9 was stellar, so I'm not so sure any improvement on 10 would be that noticeable for me.

Every situations going to be different. For maximum battery life I would recommend a factory reset after upgrading to 10 if you haven't done one recently ;-)

From the beginning, I can't say I have ever thought my Pixel 3 battery life was amazing. Just slightly better than average at best. This is why I am doubtful of a factory reset making a huge improvement.

Are you using the Pixel 3 or the XL? How good is the battery life on your phone?

If you don't mind, can you share some numbers so we can get a idea? Much appreciated. Thanks!

Same here. I pretty much went all day Sunday without having to place it on the charger.

 

[FeinP1118]

Agree! Much better!

 

[eric002]

Agree! Much better!

Oh, hell yeah it is!

 

[EMGSM]

So far Battery life seems better. I usually got 4-5 hr SOT. Yesterday I managed 6hr. Still early but it's looking good.

I am still charging twice a day unfortunately! If I could make it through to bedtime this would be the best phone ever.

I can't tell whether the battery life on my 3XL is better because my usage fluctuates too much. The big surprise is that it's much better on my watch. After the 10 update a notification recommended re-pairing my watch, which I did. I start every day with 100% from overnight charging and used to end a typical day at 71%. Now it ends at 77%.

I'd say it's between that, and the Android 10.
