Pixel 7 and 7 Pro buyers keep complaining about the same problem.
It’s not entirely clear what’s happening with the Pixel 7’s power pack. Lithium-ion batteries naturally degrade over time and we are close to one full year since the Pixel 7 launched, which could be behind the complaints.—seven months after launch—and the fact that there was a sudden deluge of complaints after two updates is a cause for concern. The size of the battery on the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro aren’t the issue .
The Pixel 6 Pro had similarly unpredictable battery life. Whether it’s an efficiency issue of the new Tensor chipset, or an unexpected quirk from a software update, this is clearly an area Google needs to focus on for the upcoming Pixel 8 range. I feel like I type this sentence once a year, but Google has a history of device defining issues. The Pixel 6 had a frustratingly unreliable in-screen fingerprint scanner, the Pixel 5 had a “screen gap” , the Pixel 3 had memory management problems and the Pixel 2’s display had a blue tint.
I didn’t mention the Pixel 4 in that list because it was one of the few Google releases that was nearly flawless. And while I doubt the company will bring back the 3D face unlock feature that made it one of my favourite smartphones, this is the final urgent tweak that’s necessary for the Pixel 8, because Google has nailed almost every other area.
The Pixel 7 Pro’s camera takes the best shots in the industry, the design is premium, as is the increasingly refined stock Android experience. The quarterly feature drops are a nice way to keep the phone fresh and the unique AI-powered picture editing and phone call features are genuinely useful. I hope the Pixel 8 borrows some of the Pixel 4’s magic because better battery life is a fundamental feature and it appears to be the only thing holding the Pixel line back right now.
