Google Pixel

60% in 20 hours with 6 hours of screen-on time. Not bad. I expected lowe screen-off power consumption. Instead, it looks like the screen-on power consumption is lower than my expectation.

My Sony WF-1000XM4s are the latest victim in the battery issues plaguing Sony earbuds: https://old.reddit.com/r/SonyHeadphones/comments/x7mx2n/wf1000xm4_severe_battery_issues/ Sony's apparently taking them back and refunding customers, but I'm stuck without working buds in the meantime.

I had gotten the Pixel Buds A series when I pre-ordered my Pixel 6a, but I sold them to reduce the final cost of my phone..

I've been eyeing the Pixel Buds Pro since they're down to $120 USD for Thanksgiving/Black Friday. I was wondering what owners of them think of them and if they're still worth it - considering they're 18 months old at this point.

I use earbuds in the gym or when when I'm walking to the grocery store.

I had downloaded it but never rebooted to update because I heard about some issues and decided to wait. Now it's saying I'm up to date with Android 13?

This is quite an in-depth review of the smartphone. It mentions improvements compared to its predecessors and how it stands in comparison to the competition. Like the camera comparison, display test outdoors in direct sunlight, etc.

It's a 30-minute long video, and I will recommend it if you want an in-depth review for the 8 pro.
