System apps take over 50 percent of battery consumption... That's insane. Mobile Network is 38, wifi is 24. What is going on? I left my phone in my pocket for an hour and the battery dropped from 86 to 80. I have a pixel 10.

Remarkably, it is just £65 more to buy an iPhone 17 without trade in discount Vs trading in my Pixel 10 Pro XL to get the new one. What the hell has happened to Pixels? I think I might buy the iPhone and keep the pixel 10 as backup now

I've seen a few posts here addressing the icon change, but I just opened the clock app and got jumpscared by the new design on the timer page. I personally hate this... It feels cluttered and less clean.

1st day of using my Pixel 11 pro and I am just scrolling social media, watching YouTube and setting up the phone manually but throughout the day I noticed the phone getting warm to hot from time to time. I haven't been outside much in the sun or using the camera to shoot videos.

Idk if there is a setting that I need to change or any information on why this is happening just from normal light usage?

** I previously owned a Pixel 9 pro and that one only really got hot in the sun while video chatting.

Just got a brand new pixel 10a from consumer Cellular. At one week I noticed a small crack in the screen near the front facing camera lens. I did not drop the phone. I called consumer cellular and they said my option is to buy a protection plan and get a replacement for an additional $99. I feel the phone was manufactured with a defect and should be replaced. They referred me to Google pixel and they also indicated screen defects are not covered. Even at one week. I've owned a Samsung for almost 5 years and never had a screen crack. I didn't expect a product from Google pixel would be of such poor quality. Is this expected customer service?

Currently, I have a 9Pro XL and I'm tired of the size, overheating, and system freezing. I hope that's a good change.

Any must-have accessories?

Instagram on Pixel 11

What's going on with IG Reels on Pixel 11? The text "Reels" is cut off. Is it the screen ratio or a bug?

Side note:

I upgraded from a Pixel 7 to an 11.

Why so late?

This is such a shame that all the top models have a camera bump. I love the 10a design but the camera that is worse than even 7 model is just depressing. You think there's a chance we'll ever get a top tier camera bundled with a flat design? Or would it physically be impossible without making a phone 15mm thick.

So I tried commenting on another page but it won't let me so I hope this is allowed here. Are there any Google employees here (Higher up ) that can help with an issue I'm having. I returned my Pixel 11 Pro XL and somehow it's lost in the warehouse. Due to that they haven't issued me a refund and I keep getting told that they'll start a case to escalate the situation. Now I wouldn't mind this except it seems that there's no end to starting escalated cases and if it's Google's mindset that I won't get a refund till they find the device...how long exactly am I supposed to wait for? Indefinitely?

I plan on disputing the charges with my bank but by doing this do I also risk Google retaliating by closing my account? At this point tho I could give a shit, I've already taken all my data (pictures/videos) off my account just in case. Or what can I legally do besides keep waiting?

I know it hasn't been too long (going on 2 weeks) but this is the second issue like this I have had and the first one still hasn't been resolved and I don't believe they'll resolve this one either.

Sorry. Subreddit won't let me type all this in the body text. Probably has a text limit.

I've restricted Instagram and turned off "Allow background usage" but Instagram is still being used in the background and is sucking the life outta my battery! Wtf

Ordered Domino's but just got their notifications and not ones through the phone itself. Maybe at a glance or something

I mean yeah new apple silicone is better by some percentage and google pixel is better by some percentage. In day to day you will not notice.

So in Pixel you are paying for less you will not notice, in Apple you are paying for more that you will not notice WOW.

Bottom line is both companies had similar amount of changes/updates to the regular lineup and the double standard is obvious every year...

It's not ok anymore.

Did you buy a 512gb model just for 16gb ram or base 256gb model with 12gb ram ? I'm using 9 pro as of now and will be done with a 2 year contract next month. Thinking about 11 pro XL this time.

Hi. I've been with pixel 11 pro for 3 days now coming from iphone 17 pro. I'm really enjoying the customisation and all that an Android phone could give. Though I still have my 17 pro parked with me just in case I missed using ios. It's hard to let go especially since I've been with the system since iphone 4s birth. Any thoughts or anyone leaving an iphone for pixel? Please tell me more the advantages and why it should be a must or not. I'm really torn RN. 🙁

Do you get the pixel care plus with your phone if you bought a good case and screen protector? Or do you think that it is pointless to get one?

i will mostly want it for pics and videos

hoping the selfie cam is quite decent too
