    I have a Pixel 6 and after 1 year the battery is terrible. I intend to move to Pixel 8 because of longer updates and Desktop Mode. Unfortunately they don’t have removable batteries yet.

      I have an almost 2 year old pixel 6 too and I’m thinking the same thing. I really wanted to keep this for longer but I’m not sure I can justify buying a replacement battery when I know that the 8 will be supported for longer.

        Don’t, you don’t need a new phone as phones have reached peak performance. I would suggest you to try installing graphene OS or any other custom roms from XDA. If you dont know how then ask someone who’s tech savvy and they will make your old phone, a brand new phone.

        I am thinking exactly the same. Probably I will give my Pixel 6 to my father and buy a new Pixel 8 because of the longer support.

        I am already using GrapheneOS. I realized this problem with my battery after August Android Update.

      Really? With average usage, my 6a ends the day at 70%+

      Maybe you got a lot of crap running

        My 6 Pro’s battery is nearly as good as new after 2 years.

        No, I am already using GrapheneOS and all apps that I am not using are disabled.

          That’s odd cuz I’m also using GrapheneOS. Pixel 7 should have a better battery then my 6a
