Good news for those that keep their phones for multiple years. It made sense for them to do this.

Oh, I know it's anecdotal. I also know others have issues with the Pixel 6 and 7 getting really hot.

I'm not surprised with Oneplus' battery being better as they're notorious for background app killing.

Yeah, that's true. They definitely are aggressive at app killing. The thing is I can't tell what is using the battery in the background on the Pixels.

Yep... fully aware of some saying their devices are getting hot. My Pixel 6 Pro got hot exactly once while navigating here in LA. Not sure what caused it, but it was hot to the point that I had to hold it to one of the ac vents. My 7 Pro got only slightly warm occasionally and I'm having similar experiences with the Fold. Not to say that it's a normal thing, but it's hot to the extent that others have experienced.

It's like the fingerprint sensor complaint. I could repeatedly get my prints to register without fail when some others were having issues. I'm almost worried that Google is switching to an ultrasonic sensor instead of optical because I haven't had the same luck with the ultrasonic sensor that Samsung used in the S21 Ultra and S23 Ultra. I dunno. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Anyhow, hope that your next phone, Pixel or otherwise, treats you better.
