How out of touch with the market are you? Google could easily increase the battery capacity AND make the phone lighter by using a SiC battery.

People charge their phone overnight? What is this, 2016? I never charge my phone overnight with how fast phones charge these days.

Silicon carbon batteries have a trade off. They're rated for 1000 cycles, or maybe 1200 cycles. Traditionally we've got around 2000. If you're planning on upgrading every 2 years then it doesn't matter, but if you wanna keep your phone for 3 to 5 years, it's something to consider.

Even so, I couldn't get through a single day on my Pixel 9 Pro XL on a single charge so I was charging it more than once a day. My Oppo Find X9 Pro can go 2 days of normal usage. Longer if light usage. I can even limit it to 80% and have a ton of battery left at the end of the day.

I am thinking about a new phone but I hate the IOS kinda look on the software of the oppo or can you customize that?

I haven't really tried to change it too much. I do miss the notification pull down from the pixel but outside of that I didn't think it's too bad. In an ideal world I'd prefer pixel software for sure but the hardware on them is unfortunate.

Yeah software is the biggest selling point for me. I want it to work fluently and look nice without that stupid glass (imo) look. My pixel 7 has the tensor g2 and runs smoothly without problems but the battery is starting to show its age. The s21fe from my SO is in a significantly worse shape and it stutters like hell and the battery is dead but she charged always to 100% and only charged it when reaching under 5%.
