This one is fairly small, in fact, much smaller than most new ones. On top of that, Google's great legendary initiative of cutting down battery by a few hundreds since the last pixel .

I'm gonna say that the auto brightness has gotten significantly better on the 7 Pro!!!! Tested it outside in the sun and as soon as I walked in the house it correctly adjusted (I also noticed that as I was walking around in the backyard anytime there was any shade it adjusted)

Correction: Adaptive brightness works the opposite of what you suggested.

I just want to say a big THANK YOU this video has helped me out a lot I've only had the 7 pro for little over two weeks and my battery sucked half way through the day I was getting down to around the mid 30's to 40's after watching your video last night I'm now sitting at a very comfortable 87 percent at 3:30 in the afternoon so thank you thank you thank you again for this very helpful video you definitely got a new subscribe

Great job on the video ‼️I may try some of these tips.

I have my screen on full brightness and highest resolution on my 7 Pro. First 2-3 days the battery wasn't the best but now after a week it is allot better. I think you need to give it some time to adjust. The phone learns and has gotten better and better for me. I am absolutely loving my first pixel! Great videos.

Don't have a 7 but I can say that over the past 6 months or so my 6 Pro has had great battery life. I know they made updates but some of your tips were also useful! 7 or not I love the pixel content and will continue to watch your vids.

I haven't been having that many issues with my pixel 7. In terms of battery. I have a live wallpaper running 24/7, brightness up to the absolute max, I use Google maps constantly for work and I'm able to get a full work day which is about 8 hours on a full charge. Now Charging.... Now if you can tell me how to charge this thing faster than that would be super helpful! Because taking a full hour and 20 minutes to charge "rapidly" from 45% is absolutely crazyness to me. Other than that, this phone is absolutely amazing!

I think the battery gets better as you use it.. noticed I had more juice by end of day yesterday than I did the day prior with very similar use

For me, the battery on the smaller Pixel 7 is passable, but not great. I can typically get through a full day without plugging in, but not much more than that. I'm hoping it still improves with updates.

I read somewhere the 7 Pro could have a faulty screen. It consumes a really high amount of power on full brightness. Around 6watts iirc which was getting close to double to similar panels on other devices for compatible brightness settings.

Great video :). Just small correction - adaptive brightness works the other way around from what you are describing. It BOOST the brightness in bright environment so you can see better (let's say on a bright daylight). And MINIMISE the brightness in dark environment, so do not be uncomfortable on your eyes.

Hey, guys, is there a big difference in 60hz vs 90hz or Pixel 7 (not pro) in terms of battery life?

How do you turn on the call screening feature? I looked it up but there was no information. Always a great video.

Have you done a review on the "Pro1 X" smart phone from FX Technology? What are your thoughts?

Also a hidden setting Google Assistant is always listening to you to say "Hey Google" even if the screen is locked, this is for a hands-free scenario. If you don't want this setting turned on you can turn it off in the Google Assistant setting->to Hey Google & Voice Match->Hey Google toggle, you will need internet to access the settings

Adaptive brightness is like adaptive battery. To get tbe best performace to save battery life, turn it on adjust it to how like it for dark, low light etc & it will remeber that. If you like it at 50 no matter the lighting set it to that in those environments. Plus if you want peak brightness outdoors it needs to be on. Just a tip.

I was looking up a battery test on the Fire HD 10+ tablet....but then I stumbled upon this video. Considering I have the Pixel 7 Pro, I figured I'd give this a watch. But, to be honest, I don't know if I really need it, as I use battery saving mode on all the phones I use. And this barely used battery at all in that mode compared to my previous phones.

I get like 7 hours screen on time with my 7pro ...heavy usage of KZread, TikTok, Twitter and Facebook.... When I first got the I put screen full brightness for the first 2 weeks so it learns my habits with high settings and then I lowered them after but anyway I'm getting decent battery on my 7pro

I've also turned off a lot of things in my life so I'm happier for a lot longer each day. Thankfully my 7 pro battery has been so good I haven't had the need to turn any of the power features off. At least not yet lol

Bought a pixel 7 last week. Screen on battery time is good, however when the phone is off, the idle battery drain is horrendous. Using accubattery pro it was showing something like 3.5%/hr overnight. I've contacted google support and they asked me to charge the phone to full and leave it overnight, and to come back to them if it drains >10%. Maybe I am beginning to understand the appeal of apple after all.....I really want to like this phone.
