    I disabled adaptive battery, adaptive conectivity and 5g and it literally solved all my battery problems. 8 to 9 h of SOT. When i had adaptive battery on i used to have 5 to 6 h of SOT.

    Excellent! I don't understand why reviewers always talk about charging speed and fingerprints. If you come from apple, you'll lose your mind of how fast it is in comparison. and fingerprints, only reviewers use devices without cases.

    • @ezradanger
      @ezradanger Před 4 měsíci +1

      Only reviewers, people with way too much money, and idiots don't use cases. Unfortunately, I used to fall into that last category. But after cracking the display on my S20+ then my OnePlus 9, I finally learned my lesson.

    Thank you for this very detailled review. I currently have an iPhone 11 Pro max and I was tempted to try Pixel phones. I guess I'll still wait for them to improve (according to my preferences). In the meantime, I'll buy an iPhone 13 pro

    • @TacoTechTalk
      @TacoTechTalk  Před 5 měsíci +1

      That's fair, it'll be an okay upgrade from the 11 Pro Max but not really anything massive imo. What the big difference will be is the software experience for sure.

      @@RakibKhan-bu4vo I ended up buying pixel 7 instead. Have been using it for more than 1 month. I’m not a heavy user and so far, I’m satisfied with the phone’s performance. One thing that annoys the hell out of me is the FINGERPRINT SENSOR. It’s a hit or miss kinda experience. I used pixel 6a before that had the same issue. Expected better from pixel 7. If I change my phone in the next 1-2 years, I will do it for the fingerprint sensor

    I was forced to get this one about a year ago as I lost my 5yr old pixel XL2 which at that point was starting to randomly shut off and turn on. The issues I have had - when I'm in a safe area it wants me to put in a code even though I've been using fingerprints or face recognition prior to that within the hour. Fingerprint doesn't always want to work, especially if your finger is dry. If it is used constantly, it does seem to get a bit warm on the back where you're holding on to it. I'm still not savvy with how to use the photo stuff, but my photos still turn out pretty good and the videos I've taken are pretty good as well. And as it's doing right now, it isn't letting me easily scroll up/down to make edits in this comment. My 2nd biggest pet peeve is that on talk to text. It will autocorrect my grammar which is not how I say things and is not correct. Half the time it autocorrects it! As you can see it just did it here changing my sentence and capitalizing "half". My number 1 pet peeve is when I have my alarm set up to wake up to music. It starts beeping then starts the music. When you turn off the alarm it continues to play the music. Cannot find what that issue is or how to rectify it. I set my alarm to play music because I have found I am one angry person when I get up to a beeping alarm & who wants to start their day off like that!
    With the reviews on the pixel 8 pro vs 7 pro, I'm not going to upgrade at this point. Will keep it until there's no more updates like I did with my pixel XL2 & hopefully get 5yrs out of this one. All my prior cells lasted 3 yrs so kudos to Google!

      I've purchased a few renewed phones in the past and all have turned out to be pretty good condition almost new, just make sure you buy it from somewhere that has a good return policy such as Amazon they typically offer 90 days for their renewed phones.
