Give it a week to optimise apps and bed in.

Yeah this basically - my battery life is rubbish if I do a full factory reset but gradually gets much much better.
Is this really a thing? I've never owned a phone that didn't have full battery life straight out of the box. The Pixel line-up always seems to need its finickyness explaining rather than simply powering on and away you go.

This isn't a Pixel thing, it's generally an Android thing. It learns over the first few days which apps you don't use much and can shut down more in the background.

I agree my pixel2xl was terrible out the box I almost rma'ed it. But after a week it was good.

So I'm expecting the next patch 2nd-6th Sep window to be the upgrade to Android 10.

I've bought my mother a Pixel 3a for her birthday, while it's £50 off in the sale and have to say, I'm really impressed with it. Great screen, amazing camera and feels really light and small, but not in a cheap way. It has made me wonder if I should give the smaller Pixel 4 a go when they come out. My OnePlus 7 Pro feels sooooo heavy now.

Well I will be expecting a review of the 4xl!

I’ve wondered about getting a smaller phone again. Not too sure though as watch a fair few videos on the go these days (much more than I used to) but then any phone screen is ‘small’ when doing that anyway, but it’s definitely been getting more cumbersome to handle phones nowadays. The main thing that worries me about the standard 4 are the rumours of the tiny battery. I couldn’t be bothered to go back to poor/mediocre battery life again.

That doesn't really concern me. I don't think I've used a phone in the last 4 years that hasn't lasted me at least 18 hours and got me to the end of the day...
How did your mate 20 pro not last you through the day? Mine easily gets me through! It’s the one thing that’s holding me off from upgrading to something else.

It did get me through, as did all others in recent years. Maybe read my post again

Yeah but you will probably only own it for 6 months or so
Might not be so good after 18 months or so!

Yeah, I thought these things are disposable, no? 
It looks like the rumours were true, the android site has updated.

A few sites are reporting it has been released but this is not widespread yet.

Excited!
