Your pixel 5 didn't just mysteriously die? There was a wave of them dying. Mine was part of the crossfire.
I loved the pixel 5 too, for like 3 years then mysteriously croaked.
Currently on the pixel 6 which is pretty good.
Ive not heard of this - were you on the standard Google OS? I wonder if that makes any difference.
I've been on custom ROM (CalyxOS) for most of the phone's life.

I can anecdotally attest to this. I've been using the same Samsung phone since basically 2020 with original battery and the runtime is still damn good for what I need.
Same, got mine in early 2020 and the battery is still at 87% capacity.

Jobs figured everything out a long time ago. Why are you desecrating his memory?

What are you talking about? The article doesn't mention him.

Sorry, no way I am going back to Samsung. I had the A71 and it was a TERRIBLE smart phone. I switched to the Pixel 6 and it was night and day.
I just need to get off my ass and install Graphene.
You're comparing apples and oranges. The A71 isn't supposed to be comparable with a pixel 9.
You're comparing the three-door Nissan to a Lamborghini
-
But they don't have GrapheneOS
Unfortunately, the future of grapheneos is not certain anyway with Google going closed source on all the drivers and device trees

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
Their obsession with the tensor AI chip is very strange
-
Whoa that happened to the 6a as well? That whole thing with the 4a was a disaster.
The 5a was worst, I had to replace it after a small drop, and I wasnt going to replace a screen that's almost as much the phone

From @fuckwit_mcbumcrumble@lemmy.dbzer0.com on a post over at !android@lemdro.id
Yeah this is just manufacturers self rating themselves. This is just like VW cars rating themselves as getting 5-10mpg better than their competitors, when really they were just measuring from the balls.
The up side is if they fail to meet those ratings then are the consumers entitled to some sort of compensation?
Btw, I love how Piefed shows comments from cross-posts. Every client should do it, helps make the fediverse feel bigger and more diverse.
That's amazing, thanks for sharing that about piefed. More people should hear this. It ties the Fediverse together nicely and is likely opt-out.
I've been holding off on using it more because I haven't found a replacement for Summit. But because of that feature, I'll make a bigger effort. -
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.
I had the 5a I I only found out it was super defective after the screen died from a small drop, apparently it's one of its common defects, aside from the motherboard failure. I replaced with a non iOS, Google or Samsung phone

I had the 5a, and the screen died after a small fall, apparently that was common with this phone, and yes I only found out defective it was from other reviews

Didn't you read? He figured out everything

cool. since whatever i had after the pixel 1, I've had to replace my phone every 1 or 2 years. i like the os but they're not made as well anymore
-
You say that like it's impossible to change the battery on a Samsung phone. I can have it done in under 10 minutes.
did you have to pull the screen off and then glue it back on

Idk, dying 15 years ago kind of seems genius today.
-

No, you heat up the backside and put it back on again.

I received 100 dollars from Google for nerfing my battery capacity on my pixel 6a. If you have an pixel 6a you can also get this.
