Google Pixel 6/6 Pro

How's battery life on the Pro? Is it bad as mkbhd said it is?

Other reviewers have said it has really good battery life. I'm actually wondering if maybe MKBHD was given the 5G mmWave version which could potentially be using more power. We have the non mmWave version here since no networks plan to deploy the tech.
 
Can't speak for the Pro, but my std 6 was at 100% around 9:30 this morning, and I've absolutely hammered it while on 4G and WiFi (work? It's Friday, it's been a bloody long and busy week!) and it's only down to 77%.

My mate 20 pro next to me has been on WiFi only, has barely been touched, was at 100% at 7:30 and is at 86% currently..
 
Battery life is excellent on my 6 Pro. I did think there was an issue the first evening, but that was me being stupid as it was recharging my external battery pack rather than the other way round.

That's impressive.
 
Either the battery metre is broken or the 6 has excellent drain when idel. I turned my phone on 3 hours ago and it's still showing 100% :confused::D
 
The only way of seeing that is to add up the display time under system, right?

Over 2hrs SOT for me since 100% and same, 74%.

Mate 20 Pro is at 41 mins SOT and 84%.
Settings - apps -> screen time

That is "today" so anything after midnight but due to early start yesterday I was deep asleep by midnight :D

AHH nice, thanks!

Ok, make that 3hrs and 10 mins SOT and 71% :D:eek:

EDIT: Used the phone for a bit, then left it and came back 10 mins later. Now the AOD is only showing the gesture bar. Nothing else.

I had this last night on my P6 Pro, the screen was completely unresponsive, just had the bottom gesture bar which was also unresponsive to taps swipes etc. I pressed the power button to turn the screen off then I tapped the screen and the display came back fine. Weird...

Yeah I keep getting the same issue. Good to know it's not just me!
 
I had issues this morning with Android Auto to the point that I left it disconnected and listened to the radio instead. The battery icon on the screen was flickering between charging and a full battery constantly before it disconnected.
Wonder if it struggles with what to do with power when the battery is fully charged. When I drove home after work yesterday there was no issues, but the battery was around 70% so was taking a charge normally.

The first time I plugged my P6P in to charge (Google 30W charger, Anker C to C cable), the phone appeared to start and stop charging a few times, but it hasn't done it since. Heard the charging sound a couple times.
I'm not sure if this is something to do with initial negotiation? It hasn't done it since.

On the way home today it was probably around 80-90% charged and kept disconnecting from Android Auto. The message on the car was along the lines of "USB device has stopped responding". Will see if there are any updates over the weekend before I start clearing the cache for Android Auto and perhaps making things worse.
