    Can confirm my pixel 6a battery went to dogshit this week. Almost feels like it’s more the update than anything with the battery… but I guess I’ll be learning to switch battery and finally going back to lineageos

      Yeah they sent a communication to pixel 6a owners saying that they will force an update that will reduce battery usage. In case you did not know, Google is providing a 100$ check, or 150$ discount on their store for 6a owners.

          Experiencing it right now… Still no battery update for my phone, but I am currently away on vacation and am dreading the moment it will become a fancy brick

        Yup, got my 100$ yesterday -it is anti-lawsuit stuff but will cover the cost of fixing a new battery

      My 6a is over 3 years old and still strong. I had no Samsung battery that lasted under a year and a half.

      GrapheneOS though.

      I’ve had my Pixel 5 since around the time the 6 came out. The battery life isn’t great, but I can get by just fine. Maybe Samsung phone batteries are better, but before this I had a Samsung Galaxy. The battery on that was no better. I know this is anecdotal, but I don’t plan to switch when my 5 croaks.
