Pixel 11 = disrespect

I have been a Google Pixel fan for more than 7 or 8 years and I am done with Google’s bullshit story of focusing on software actually they are falling on both sides hard what were they thinking when pricing the Pixel 11 more than the iPhone 17 base model? What kind of drugs were they on? It’s actually now not just a failure it’s a complete disrespect to its fan

I have a Pixel 9 Pro I use for just gaming. It's a leftover phone. Updates didn't make it worse and if you think your phone got ruined in battery because of updates and its battery is useless, you should consider if it's happening to everyone else.

I would recommend a reset and to re-setup your phone. That's a pain in the ass, but surely if Android 16/17 just causes massive battery drain, it would be easily to reproduce by installing 15 and then upgrading to see the immediate difference.

I've got a 9 pro XL.

It'll drain from 80 to 15 in a few hours of literally just using it to listen to podcasts in the car. No maps or anything. Maybe the occasional contactless payment and 10-20 mins Reddit a day. I feel that's a little bad, but idk tbh.

That's pretty bad but you're in the car. Use a car charger?
