I think I could've squeezed 8 SOT out of my regular Pixel 3 today. Battery is settling in nicely.
OMG! What are your settings like. I would love to at least get 5 1/2 to 6 hrs. Right now I average 4 1/2.
This is definitely true for me, I can judge the SoT based on what apps I use. But I think the biggest improvement I've noticed from older Android is the standby time is on par with iOS (7+).Unfotunatly Screen time is not always a good indicator. It's depends on what's apps are being used

Here is my screenshot for the day. At first, if one is looking at SOT, it might seem bad BUT I had off the charger at 8:00 am and since then I've:
Streamed music on the way to a football game
My son watched YouTube pre game at a tailgate
Checked random text and sites for a bit during the game at Max brightness
Sent pics I took at the game but I noticed the reception was horrible and the pics had been stuck being sent and stuck while being backed up by the photos app (which I'm sure was a battery drain)
Streamed more music and I just got home at about the time indicated in the pic.
I really liked the smallness of my pixel 2 but there's no way I would have made it home with all I did today.
My 3XL got a lot of use today and, in my experience, hits a different gear when it goes 15%. So I would have been fine being out longer.
I've seen it repeated time and time and again that SOT isn't a good indicator of battery life. It might seem like this sucks but I got a lot of use out of it today. Ultimately that's what one wants.
I find that if I'm at home, on just WIFI, and just texting and browsing, I get about 3 hours SOT at the 50% mark by the end of the day.
Yeah, I know other phones phones might do better, like the OnePlus, but I'm really happy with my phone. Speakers, screen quality, pictures, Google updates/security make this phone make this worth it for my current use.
Happy New Year everyone
Me today... Light usage at home.//uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190102/337f20b885c4e577c01d3050cac0eea9.jpg
I was worried my wife wouldn't like the battery life on the Pixel 3. Turns out, no complaints at all. She's very pleased with the device
