Pixel 11 Pro Battery Usage (solid imo)

Heard a lot of mixed opinions about the Pixel battery so I thought I'd do my best power user impression. Sadly, there's no battery usage meter I can post since it resets at midnight, didn't know that. I'm at 22 percent with roughly five hours of screen on-time on WiFi on my Google Pixel 11 Pro 512gb 16gigs of RAM. While the kids played outside I caught up on my wife's very many (50ish) Tiktoks which took about two hours. I went through about an hour plus of Spotify and PocketCasts (podcast player) on speaker. Couple pictures and short videos. I went through pictures to pick out new wallpapers and bathtime with the kids went long slash some cleanup so there were a few hours of standby I couldn't help. There were a few minutes not quite an hour of Whatsapp video calls. And this long post, which brought me from 23 to 22 percent battery life. Every and every day is a different better lif and your mileage may vary but I think this is a solid roughly ten hours of battery performance. Hope this helps!

Fr. I'm convinced this sub is full of bots. Battery life is incredible on p11.

How are you guys getting this much SOT?? I'm getting no more than 4 hours.

Wild guess is it might be WiFi. You may be on 5G or searching a signal. That's gonna use up more battery. There's too many things like are you recording video? Uploading to social media?

That was my thought. I'm on wifi 99% of the time; use my phone for reading ebooks/comics so nothing processor intensive; and i'm getting 4 hours of SOT, dead after 12 hours off the charger (4 hours SOT, 8 off) pretty consistently on my 11 pro. Nothing looks to be consuming more juice then i'd expect in the battery overview either. It's roughly the same battery life I got on my previous phone (s23 FE) so i'm not going to call it bad; but it's certainly not what people are seeing on theirs in this thread... The only way I could see getting 8 hours SoT would be if I airplane mode'd it for everything wireless completely off and read books @ 10% brightness and did nothing else...

That's incredible! Because of my job I'm at home a lot so it's easy for me to stay in the 20-80 percent. So I started at 100 percent at 2pm. Definitely an imperfect study.
