Hi guys,

Do you think the pixel 2 camera is much better and worth to upgrade?
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] ZanDyne:
It is slight better

but depending how and what u use your camera you might not notice plus with the pixel 2 ported camera port I don't miss it at all, I had a s7 went to a s8 and went back to pixel after and it's better than both of those for camera
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] S7sadly:
Not a bad gift to my self

Love this phone,its even better than my s7
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] vodovodo:
It was always better than the s7!!!
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] ZanDyne:
It truly is in the camera

But not when it comes to manual mode
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] ZanDyne:
It truly is in the camera

Hello everyone
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] ZanDyne:

[Google Pixel Real Life Review] waqar144:
The picture quality is great. Especially with the new updates and mods it's just pure awesomeness
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] S7sadly:
It is has set a new record

For age to price to performance ratio is is no betterdeal in cellphone cameras atm
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] ZanDyne:

[Google Pixel Real Life Review] subhani:
So I give videos an 8 out of 10.

The EIS works brilliantly. Very steady recording. The 60 fps 1080p is uber smooth.

Just very disappointed how the camera app doesn't give a simple frame rate switching button to toggle through all the FPS options instead of requiring you to back out into the settings of the app to switch resolution and then return to change FPS. VERY FRUSTRATING.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] TCPDump:
Video quality is absolutely perfect. I have an SGS7, iPhone 7, and this. Even though this doesn't have ois it still beats the s7 and iphone hands down. The slow motion is 100% seamless.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] affiatic:
Sometimes when I take a video it will be grainy. I think it has to do with the lighting but I shot a video for YouTube a couple days ago and it was pretty bad. Kind of want to reshoot it but I am also pretty lazy.

To sum up , This is a no compromise camera!
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] JoeHockey:
Coming from a Moto X '14 which had outstanding camera software I'm disappointed with the Pixel. You could do almost everything one handed on the MX14 from zooming in/out to taking a picture by touching the screen. Just yesterday I realized that I can't draw on pixel photos either. Hoping they add some usability features because the hardware is great.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] error747:
The pics looks nice and crisp to me after I take them, low light detection still sucks like most other cameras. Colors are decent and hold up when I display them on a 4k monitor. I must say I like the speed, when I want to capture a moment it takes the pic right away. When I get close to an object it actually focuses where my buddy's Nexus 6 had issues with that. It seems like an improvement but there is still some features they can add. One handed operation would be nice.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] tranquill1800:
When on home screen, Google assistant always detect "ok Google" even though I have turned it off in settings... Serious privacy concern!!... Does this really hear me fart!

Any solutions?

Even, I can see that the phone is never in sleep state and is always awake..

Any help?
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] mukhtar.patel1:
I just got Google pixel yesterday.

I am trying to play 4k video on YouTube but for some reason there is no 4k option in quality.

what am I missing ?
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] mousqy:
pixel is fullHD bro, but it can capture 4k video
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] fauzanmcs:
not all videos on YouTube have 4k resolution
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] mukhtar.patel1:
I tried videos that are 4k but pixel doesn't​ show 4k option.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] kuzimoto:
The pixel is not physically capable of displaying 4K video, so that's probably why you don't get that option.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] mukhtar.patel1:
iPhone 7 has only 720p display. It can still play 4k video.

Google just have to enable the 4k option for 1080p androids.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] kuzimoto:
Is there any benefit to playing 4K video on a lower resolution display? Maybe you could perceive a difference in 4K video on a 1080p 20" or larger screen, but I don't that's the case on a phone. Just seems like a waste of bandwidth at that point for google and the end user.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] mikeprius:
I have a nexus 5x. I didn't realize that there are differences now. Before to just flash twrp su then you are done. I read there are 2 slot sorts something so twrp needs am IMG and zip.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] n00bpwner:
no it can not. it can play downscaled video to 720p but you would get no benefit over watching the original 720p video.

apple will sell you a 5 gallon bucket that holds 20 gallons too.

[Google Pixel Real Life Review] HunterKurza:
Charging speed is amazing. Honestly the quickest charge out of any piece of technology I have ever used. The battery life you get from the amount of time you take to charge is absolutely phenomenal.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] carlitosabreu@gmail.com:
What charger are you using?

I'm not using the OEM Google Pixel charger and just using a Samsung Fast Charger, and when connected the Pixel indicates "slow charge".
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] ZanDyne:
It slow like molasses in d winter,compared to any quick charge 2.0 devices
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] mike.s:
It depends on how much you discharge the battery. If really low, it will charge 0-25 quickly. 25-50 about the same as a Quick Charge port. 50-75, about the same as a standard USB charging port (1.5A). 75-100, it tapers off and by 90% charges no faster than plugging into a USB data port (500 mA).

So, if you charge when you can and don't let it get below 50%, it's no faster than any other phone, and any standard USB-A charger will provide what it can use.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] XDA_RealLifeReview:

[Google Pixel Real Life Review] robstunner:
I will post later today after I fully charge. But I lost about 10% during initial setup and downloading apps. Less than 10 minutes SOT, hardly a fair reflection of endurance yet though.

So far:

Looks like about 5hrs is what it will trend down to. Which... Is OK.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] king_dani:
Is this XL or the smaller version?
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] robstunner:
Small one.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] aldude345:
https://goo.gl/photos/tUby63bQYQuVAr1Y9 much better then 5 hours screen time on way
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] robstunner:
How did you set your phone up?
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] aldude345:
Nothing special at all. No battery saving modes. I do like to have wifi and Bluetooth calling turned off. Do u know how to enable battery percentage in battery bar as u see?

---------- Post added at 02:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:32 AM ----------

Wifi and bluetooth scanning what I meant
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] robstunner:
I'm no where near what your getting. I'm at 50℅ with 2.5hrs sot.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] robstunner:
First full day for me. It's about what I would expect to be honest. Everything is on except for drive backup and wifi, Bluetooth, nearby scanning.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] jasestu:
The Pixel (non XL) hasn't been looking great for me. Here's my second and third days with the phone (i.e. the days after the one I spent installing everything and playing a lot with the

camera).

First Full Day

Second Full Day
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] Bxrider117:
Jasestu,

I think your 2nd day results are pretty good. 3.5 hours of SOT and 22% battery left means you should be able to get at least 4.5 hours or more for a 2770 mah battery. That's in par with my S7.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] joshm.1219:
This is from yesterday, my first full day with the phone after getting it Thursday. About a half hour of a graphic heavy game, over an hour of YouTube, some Netflix casting. Navigation was on for maybe 20 minutes, Bluetooth was on all day, streaming gpm and podcasts. Screen brightness was 50% most of the day. Power saving mode was on from 15% until I plugged in at 4% and took these screenshots.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] jasestu:
OK, so it's probably a case of needed to recalibrate myself after the Z3 Compact - I get twitchy if the phone ever got as low as 35% by the end of a day....
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] joshm.1219:
And here's today's stats.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] daewond3r:
Not gonna get too ahead of myself but it does appear that battery life is improving as the days go by and the OS settles. I'm hoping to consistently get 4+ hours SOT. That would be an improvement over my 6P (3–4 hours SOT since Nougat) and I'd be content with that.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] fitchpuckman:
Today is my first full day with the phone (basically all setup completed yesterday eve), and I'm currently at 4+hr SOT with 31% battery left. I spent about an hour (edit:*talking*) on the phone, listened to a bit if music, wandered around this AM taking photos, and spent a ton of time if Facebook and Reddit. This is WAY better than my 5x, which was struggling to hit 2.5 hrs on a full days' use. Things to consider: it's Saturday and I'm not getting work emails all day, but also I typically expect worse battery life early on as OS is settling in. So far, this is more than u was expecting and is a great early indicator. Even if I only get 4-5hr SOT long term, is still be quite happy with that. Trending for 5-6 is just stellar!
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] aldude345:
https://goo.gl/photos/ZEifip3kRHXXuVDK7 wow this battery life is crushing what I got even on my note 7. 89% left just went over 1 hour SOT. Well on way to 5-6 hours or more easy. The sleep mode is insane overnight
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] rakeshdas:
What's your usage like? And have you been on LTE the entire time?
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] firejackson:
Not bad I'd say
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] Richie5767:
First day usage. I'd say it's pretty decent

[Google Pixel Real Life Review] mrnovanova:
First night dropped 12% in 6 hours. Not impressed. But I gotta break in that battery.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] nednednerb:
I've been losing around 3 % to standby drain over my typical heavy 9 hour sleep (Rx induced)!

I've had mine since last Tuesday.

5" Pixel version.

Battery doesn't seem to go down unless I really get on device for a couple minutes.

Wheee!
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] dpw2atox:
Last night my pixel went down 2% over about 7.5 hrs so the standby time is pretty good.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] ColdEmbrace:
My Pixel actually dozed for it's first night. We'll have to see if it keeps going. My N5x gave up dozing a long time ago.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] grokus:
The doze mode has been great for me so far. Standby time is better than any other android phone I've used.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] MountainDwarf:
From my other reply:

Battery has been pretty good for me so far. Seems to be settling in with optimization after a few days. Dropped 0% overnight last night which is awesome.

GSAM Monitor is saying my average is 19 hrs on, 4.5 hours of screen on time usage, 1-2 hours of screen off usage like phone calls, music.

EDIT: I also have pretty crappy signal at work.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] jimv1983:
Stand by time hasn't been a real problem for awhile. My Nexus 5 on KitKat and Lollipop(both before Doze) and only a 2,300mAh would only drop 2-3% over 8 hours. It's usage time that really matters.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] inmanster:
Mine dropped about 10% the first night (Mon 24th), but I do live in an area that has poor reception. Have to place phone next to window just to get text and calls. If I go outside I may get LTE at 1 or 2 bars. Overall though battery hasn't been an issue and I love the rapid charging.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] minty1978:
Am I the only person that turns their phone off at night?!
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] ourjim:
Good lord man!

My phone is my alarm clock, so I couldn't do that if I wanted to.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] minty1978:
I'm "blessed" with an extremely good body clock, which means I wake up at 6.30 every day without any alarm... Even at the weekends
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] firejackson:
Yes ! Now a days u are lmao
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] goodbloke123:
doesn't the alarm still go off when it's turned off? my galaxy note 4 does that
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] jettrue:
Probably.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] guysalami:
Using Accubattery to measure screen off battery drain I am typically between 75-85ma. Has anyone else measured their standby power consumption, curious what other values are as this seems high to me.

Edit: more info

Tested it overnight with and without bluetooth on, got it down to 40ma without bluetooth, averaged 70ma with bluetooth on overnight. Also got to test a Note 4 under the same conditions though without a SIM card. The Note 4 was using 11ma without bluetooth and 18ma with bluetooth on. Both phones connected to the same WIFI the whole time. May have to do a full reset on the Pixel as the standby power consumption is definitely out of hand.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] PatelKev:
Standby

My Google Pixel currently drains an excessive amount of battery even on standby, however thanks to quick charging its up and ready in 15 minutes. OS seems to be heavy usage of battery at the moment.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] dbrohrer:
While I still think the Samsung will have slightly better standby drain, this isn't a good test. You cannot compare a phone with a cell signal to one without. The biggest battery drain on a phone is typically cell signal.

If you pulled the sim card out of the pixel and let the phones sit side by side overnight, that would be something.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] guysalami:
I agree, this test is not a great comparison. The Note 4 did still have cell signal as they do connect to service without a sim card, but likely it is not the same as having proper service (LTE). I was trying to get the lowest draw possible on the Pixel and managed to average 29ma in airplane mode. This is the lowest I have got yet with the device which although is decently low draw is still abysmal considering that it had no apps running and no radios active. What is even more interesting to me is that google claims that the phone has 456 hours of standby time which suggests radios active (at least cell), unless my math is wrong this works out to a standby drain of 6ma which at least on my phone seems to be completely unattainable even with radios off.

I have looked around the forums but haven't seen anyone else posting power consumption information with the regular or XL pixel so I have no idea if this is unique to my phone or just standard with the Pixel. I haven't yet factory reset the phone but that would have been next, except that I am exchanging the device due to an unrelated issue. I guess I will see how the next one stacks up in this regard.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] guysalami:
Thought I would post an update on my findings. After getting a new device and still having issues I have an answer and partial solution to my terrible standby drain. The culprit in my case is LTE. I am on FIDO in Canada which does use Band 4 though I am not certain if that is being used in my area. Anyways if I set my preferred network type to 3g my standby drain improves dramatically as the device idles around 10-15ma in my pocket and overnight is more like 6ma which is phenomenal. As soon as I set my network back to LTE my standby drain is 70-90ma and at best 40ma overnight if I'm lucky. My cell service for 3g and LTE are both good (green in battery stats). I know LTE requires more power however I would expect that power requirement to drop significantly when connected to WIFI networks which in my case doesnt seem to matter at all. At least now my battery life is awesome as others have reported. However connecting to 3g when away from home is a bummer and it's not really practical to manually change my preferred network every time I leave or enter a WIFI area. Looking at a way to automate this switch but on Android 5+ it seems that changing these settings via app are very locked down. I would also like to point out that my previous phones never seemed to suffer from this issue which only further makes me suspect that there is an unresolved underlying issue here (maybe related to the Band 4 issues being reported?). It sure is nice to open my battery stats window now and see some horizontal line segments instead of the linear march towards zero.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] guysalami:
Problem solved! seems that the Feb security update has resolved the issue. Device now idles at 15mah instead of 45mah on LTE. Hopefully this isnt just a fluke.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] alluringreality:
I might see what AccuBattery reports on my phone. Wakelock Detector indicates my phone is only awake about 1% of the time, which is similar to my previous Android 4.1.2 phone. Although the Pixel has a much larger battery, none of the settings I've tried have been able to make this phone have a standby drain at all similar to the previous phone. The battery information from Android constantly reports Google Services (or Google Play Services) using around 200mAh each day. Unless I have the screen on for hours during a day, Google Services is almost always reported as the top drain on my phone when it's sitting in standby, seemingly regardless of which settings I have tried turning off.

So far with wifi on no cellular data till my sim comes in , using Pandora for 8hours googling random **** Instagram and Twitter battery's performing pretty well on regular pixel
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] subhani:
Wait till you put a sim in it. I get approx 4.5 hours SOT on average. I'll put up a screen shot soon as I'm back in the UK. Currently on WiFi only, to avoid roaming charges.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] @ndreX!:
The battery is not that good for my experience... About 30 min using Spotify uses about 7% of battery, when regularly it doesn't took that much on my other phone that I own (Samsung J7) I know the battery is bigger for comparison, but also I've tested on a Nexus 5, and the battery have a better management on other devices than this one, when you start to use the phone on regular apps (FB, TW, IG, WA, TG, SC, etc.) you will notice a clear drain on your battery, everything is going down, in about 15 - 20 min of continuous usage it will drain about 10% - 15% of your battery, for my previous experiences on other devices this is not even close, especially when is a brand new phone (2 days old).

IOT, the standby battery usage is pretty awesome.

P.S. I will post some screenshots later.
[Google Pixel Real Life Review] bytethegroove:
my experience is, like every other phone, daily charging is necessary. however I dont notice any more drain than any other phone ive had in the past.

I get a full solid day on my battery, and i use it heavily every day.

I havent installed alot of apps(which some tend to kill your battery quicker).

id give it a high rating.

peace

5in Pixel, T-mobile in S Florida, good reception. Not a heavy app or social media user but have never had to worry about getting through the day. I usually have about 40% when I get home from work (heavy call and text use) and I see the warning to charge right before I plug it in for the night. Default brightness, wifi, bt, gps always on. Android auto destroys the battery because it loves to keep the screen on.
