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

But will it still overheat while wasting the battery doing nothing so I have to charge it in the middle of the day? Both my Pixel 6 and 7 had horrific battery life. I don't think I should give them another chance tbh.

Probably not the right phone for you. Battery life in my experience has been average for me. Not great, but not awful either.

Reviews and personal experiences have been all over the place regarding the battery from what I've seen in reviews, social media, and forums. It just depends. The Pixel 7 Pro's battery has been about the same as the 14 Pro Max that I had, but worse than the 13 Pro Max. Better than the Pixel Fold that I'm using, but not as good as the Pixel 4 XL. For sure better than the Samsung Galaxy Nexus from back in the day, but not as good as my HTC 10. Definitely not as good as the Pixel 5, but better than the Pixel 6 Pro. And so forth and so on...

Depends on my personal usage, but I'm on my phone constantly. For me, battery has been middle of the road.

Pixel 5 really was peak battery for me.

On the other hand, one has to admit that the snappiness wasn't comparable to that of a 6Pro/7Pro (not to mention the smaller, 90Hz only display)

Same. Camera was also great, but slow as you mentioned due to the processor. Couldn't take more than a couple of pictures without stalling to process said pictures. Still was my fav along with the Nexus 5. Pixel 3 XL, Nexus 6, and Pixel 6 Pro being my least fav.
