Google Pixels are NOT Samsung or Apple

[kolyan2k]

All I can say is that I got sick of charging my Pixel 3 lol. And I have 3 chargers, 2 at home and 1 in car. Always have to remember and always have to worry if you go out in the evening you will not have enough. I gave it to my wife, with her use she comes from work with 70% left

Sadly they tend to retain and attempt to impose their position even when presented with actual data that belies their claim, or argue that even if a phone has more than one needs in a day, it's not as good as one that has more based on that even if the user will rarely if ever benefit from that excess and, if excluding Pixels from consideration on that basis, could be missing out on a phone that better checks a number of other items they value that they would enjoy every day.

4 and 4 XL aren't for everyone, and for some the battery life might legitimately be too large an obstacle, but it's the same old thing.

Last year 3 and 3 XL were panned by reviewers who somehow were praising them a few months later.

I don't know why there is so much controversy with every phone release and it happens to every device but the Pixel gets more than it's fair share of criticism. Sometimes deservedly, other times just because someone thinks they know better about what it should have been and could have been. I opted not to buy the Pixel this time around, not because it's a bad phone but simply because I don't need anything that it offers that I don't already have. I know some like premature phone hopping and I've done my share the last 3 years but I'm in a happy place right now. They way I see things I don't expect or demand that an OEM give me what I think is missing. Instead, I find a device that gives me what I'm missing.

I think some here may be misunderstanding the Pixel 4 bashers.

It's the 4 and 4 only that has this issue of a battery that's too small.

Who said anything about the 4 XL ?

I've seen both bashed in threads... 4 more so, but I've seen complaints that the XL should have been released with a battery comparable to the Note 10+ or iPhone 11 pro max

As much as I'll bash the 4 because 2800mAh is just awful, I don't think there's anything wrong with the 3700mAh on the 4 XL and it would have been a phone I'd have considered if the chin was symmetrical with the top bezel.

I would love it symmetrical but for me that means losing the forehead, not gaining a Jay Leno Chin. Nothing against those that like bezels but I actually preferred the notch... Go figure.

You can make of Jay Leno chin , but did you see his car collection ...wow

His chin and car collection are mutually exclusive. He has a Stanley Steamer.
I met him in a bar once and asked him if I could buy him a chin and tonic.... True story

Your just wrong, and that's a fact! See post #24

"The battery life on the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL is average at best. That’s a fact."

I'd take those battery stats you posted any day of the week!

It lacks hdw.
But if you have the fever.
Your ears can't hear.

And here sayers are only bashing you and you are a troll.
Glad I'm not younger and somebody called me a troll.

I've had piles of phones
Used to do lock and safe work for phone stores.
I got phones at discounts.
I'd buy a phone every 3 months.

The people at the phone stores would say
What are you gonna do with your old phone.
Give it to somebody that needed it.
You will have a new customer.

I watched a video battery test and the 4XL beat the Note 10+ and held it's own against the 11 Pro Max. I think the 4XL battery bashers will be eating crow shortly!

Probably can get decent battery life on the pixel 4 xl, but to beat out the Note 10+ and iPhone 11 pro max , even Note 9 ... no I dont think it will at all .

I was wrong on the 4XL beating the Note. The Note lasted 8 minutes longer over ~8.5 hours. From my perspective anybody that bad mouths any of these 4 phones about daily user battery life has issues.

Keep in mind it's only one test and we don't know how well conditions were controlled. I'm not saying that for or against about of the phones.

True, it's still early days with the 4XL. But the *Ermahgerd3700* crowd still cracks me up.

I’d never buy a car that gets 10 mpg, and having to fill the tank up every day, and neither would you. The battery life on the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL is average at best. That’s a fact. Just because the average consumer only spends a few hours on their phones doesn’t excuse the fact that Google consciously chose to place a small battery in expensive devices. Battery life is the single most important aspect of the phone, regardless of all other features. If the phone isn’t going to last all day with average use, that’s a concern.

The excuses people make for crappy battery life is astounding.

It seems like you have a grudge or vendetta against Google or something. All of your post in various threads is all negative posts about the Pixel 4 phones. Do you own the Pixel 4/Pixel 4 XL? You said the battery is "average" at best. So I was just wondering if you did or didn't actually own a Pixel 4/XL

I know with my Pixel 4 XL, my battery is not average. In fact, I get better battery life than I did with both my Galaxy S10+ and Note 10+. The only device that beats my Pixel 4 XL in battery life is my iPhone 11 Pro and that isn't even by much.

Like one other poster said, everyone uses their phones differently which would also result in various battery results for everyone. If we bought a car that was getting 10 mpg and you drove more often than I did, you would have to stop for gas at much faster rate than I. Same scenario with phones. If you're gaming, watching movies etc on your phone or just got a lot more things going on (power user) and I only check my email, check the net, send a few text messages etc. my battery would last longer than yours on one charge.

Then you're talking about the excuses for crappy battery life. There's no excuses. I have used A LOT of phones and not one has lasted me all day. And if my battery gets low, I plug it in. It's nothing wrong with that. Are people that lazy that they can't charge their phones up for 10-15 minutes to give it a little juice?

With all the hate you're saying about the pixel 4/4 xl, I would think and hope that you DO own one. That way you can honestly back up what you're saying about the average battery life and every other negative thing you said it .. lol

It's the fact. Time after time.
Google fails to put the hardware in the phones.

But charges premium prices for the phones..

That is the problem.

And the pixel fans just dont care..
