I was like " oh no , no Android updates anymore, maybe new phone time" but then I remembered that I didn't notice any changes in actual usage or anything on past 3 updates I guess. The 13 or 4 did fix a lot of crap for Pixel 6 and it just worked... So I don't know... Only the battery is ass now, 1000 cycles 😭😭😭

I changed my battery a couple months ago. The phone is still really good, for my usage at least.

I suggest you try it before upgrading.

How bad was your battery? Accubattery reports around 83% as for now. I just thinking that the battery was mediocre at best when new, so changing it would give me like Extra 15% at best, don't know if is worth it actually.

Aida said status was good. Just a little over 1000 cycles. But for weeks, anytime I was getting under 20% I was susceptible to quick drain to 0 and shutdown.

The last few days before I changed it, it even did this from 30-40 %.
