[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] EeZeEpEe:
True but remember new chips increase performance but also increase battery life. The 845 is, at least supposed to be, 30% more battery than the 835. See: https://www.gadgetsnow.com/tech-new...45-vs-snapdragon-835/articleshow/61959724.cms

Also the Pixel 3 has a bigger screen but is still 1080p and OLED which can be more battery efficient.

I had the Nexus 5X and definitely don't disagree with it's battery life. At least with what I got when I had my original and replacement. I don't get how other got 5+ hours SOT yet I could barely get 3-3.5 hours. Now with my Pixel 2 XL, I can get 5-6 hours easily 50% more SOT(even hit 8 hours while other get up to 10+) yet the screen is 15.3% bigger, is 1440p, the battery is only 30% bigger compared to the Nexus 5X. Real life usage matters because, as the saying goes, YMMV.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] jimv1983:
Saying that the SD 845 is 30% more efficient than the SD 835 is very misleading. The chip being 30% more efficient doesn't have a very big impact on battery life. If would be like saying your car's air conditioner is 30% more efficient than the previous model so your mileage will be way better. The SoC power usage is nothing compared to the screen.

Yes, it is still 1080p on one side but the aspect ratio has changed. It's no longer 1920x1080. It is now 2160x1080. That's an increase of just over 1/4 million pixels or 12.5% higher than a 1920x1080 display.

I'm glad you agree on the Nexus 5X. The thing is both the Nexus 5X and Pixel 2 had a 1920x1080 screen and a 2700mAh battery and had very similar screen sizes(5" vs 5.2"). The Nexus 5X had a SD 808 and the Pixel 2 had the MUCH MUCH more efficient SD 835. However, the Pixel 2's battery life wasn't much better than the Nexus 5X. Most of the small improvement is because of the Pixel 2 using an AMOLED compared to the Nexus 5X that had a LCD. That shows that chip efficiency doesn't really matter that much so the 30% efficiency improvement of the SD 845 really doesn't matter much.

As far as the Pixel 2 XL I'd say a 30% bigger battery is pretty significant. The 8% increase in battery of the Pixel 3 over the Pixel 2 is much less significant.

And to complicate things even more batteries degrade over time and Android updates have a tendency to decrease battery life. As I've mentioned to you before my Pixel 2 XL battery drain has increased 50%(both standby and screen on time) just because of 3 monthly updates. With the Pixel 3 having a 13% bigger screen and 12.5% more pixels with only an 8% increase in battery compared to the Pixel 2 it's pretty clear the Pixel 3 will have worse battery life than the Pixel 2 right out of the box. A year from now it will probably be in Nexus 5X range battery life. And the Pixel 3 has wireless charging which just makes the battery degrade even faster. I really feel sorry for anyone that buys a Pixel 3 and leaves it on a wireless charger overnight every night. That could be as bad as my old Samsung Galaxy S2 which gives me nightmares.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] milan187:
This is a lot of speculation. Battery may very well last much more then previous gen.

How big is the S9? 3000 mAh and that has a 5.8 display. So this should be much better if that's how you look at things.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] EeZeEpEe:
For what it's worth, Nexus 5X vs Pixel 2 GSM Arena battery tests. Coincidentally, 30% better. LOL. Basically I'm posting this because I hardly believe that the Pixel 2 battery was as bad or got as bad as the Nexus 5X. And why I doubt the Pixel 3 would be too.

[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] milan187:
So to bring this back jimb1983 was wrong. The 3 gets much better battery life then the 2. Approaching what 2 XL can do.

Here is a review from gizmodo:

That said, in terms of usefulness, one of the standard Pixel 3's biggest upgrades is a larger 2,915 mAh battery that lasted 10 hours and 50 minutes on our rundown test, a big jump up from the paltry 8:59 the Pixel 2 managed last year. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said of the Pixel 3 XL whose 3,430 mAh battery is actually slightly smaller than what you get in a Pixel 2 XL, which resulted in the Pixel 3 XL’s longevity increasing by less than 10 minutes to 11 hours and 24 minutes.

9to5google:

The Pixel 3’s battery comes in at just under 3,000 mAh, while the larger Pixel 3 XL is 3430 mAh. I’m not one to religiously test screen-on-time performance, because I don’t find it to be a helpful indicator of real world use. But I didn’t have a single day with either of these devices where I felt the need to top up between nightly charges, and that’s using them extensively as review devices. The vast majority of people charge their phone once per night, so that’s my litmus test.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] EeZeEpEe:
That's a good 20% increase from only an 8% battery increase size. Sounds possible to me.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] bartolo5:
People need to stop looking at the mAh numbers to know battery life. The only thing that matters is real life battery life endurance.

My pixel 2, that in theory has average battery life, usually puts me at 5-6 hours of SOT. It is, with a massive lead, the best phone I've had in this size range in terms of battery life. It all has to do with the very careful optimizations Google does when it comes to ramping up the CPU and everywhere else. Also, idle battery life is finally starting to work well on Android, and it will work better on November 1st when all updated apps are forced to obey background limit restrictions. I'm excited to see what Pixel 3 has to offer.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] jimv1983:
3000mAh isn't very big for a 5.8" 2960x1440 screen. The battery life of the S9 isn't very good.

---------- Post added at 06:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:19 AM ----------

Sorry but you're wrong. It's just simple math and common sense. The screen is by far the biggest battery drain on any phone. That's just a fact. A 5.5" 2160x1080 screen is going to take a lot more power than a 5" 1920x1080 screen. A battery increase of only 8% isn't enough to make up for that huge increase in battery drain from the more power hungry screen.

So someone from 9to5Google was able to get an entire day on a Pixel 3. What was the usage? I was able to get a full day of low endurance usage from my Nexus 5X but that phone had awful battery life. Anything more than like browsing on wifi and it didn't get a full day. Again, it depends on how you are using it. I just went to a music festival this last weekend. My Pixel 2 XL got through a full day of heavy use but didn't have much to spare. The Pixel 2 wouldn't have made it under that usage and the Pixel 3 would have died earlier.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] netwokz:
So, I will try to sum it up, in a few words. Depends on usage? Some people sit there and play games a lot; some occasionally browse the web, check news feeds; some browse social media all day; again, depends on usage. You can't judge a phone on mAh. Never understand why battery life was determined on a spec. "EVERYBODY" uses their phone differently.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] jimv1983:
GSM Arena's battery life tests are a freaking joke. I stopped paying attention to them a long time ago. 8.5 hours of web browsing? Hahahaha. Maybe 6.5-7 at best on wifi. And no way was the Pixel 2 that much better. Look at battery life threads here on XDA for the 2 phones.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] EeZeEpEe:
Like I said, take the test for what they're worth. That's fine they don't worth much to you but they do show better battery with the Pixel 2 over the Nexus 5X.

I was part of the Nexus 5X battery thread and just looked at some Pixel 2 threads (Seems to be less active that Pixel 2 XL ones). I know how bad the 5X was for me but somehow others got 4-5+ hours SOT "easily". I didn't get close to that with two units. With the Pixel 2 threads, I didn't get the impression that it has terrible battery life. People said they get 4-5+ hours SOT and don't need to charge midday.

Also, you never explained how a 30% increase in battery got me 50% better SOT with my Pixel 2 XL which has more pixels to push on a larger, brighter, screen than my 5X? Yes I'm saying this with some sarcasm because it is possible for 8% battery increase to give an improvement. Might not be much but if people in the Pixel 2 thread say they got 4-5 hours SOT then with would be something like 4.5-5.5 hours.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] milan187:
Daniel Mader is pretty happy with it. Lasting him a while day with heavy usage for him. He said 4-5 hours of SOT. Which is decent.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] EeZeEpEe:
It's still something to go by though. Would you get a phone that had 500-750 less mAh than your current phone and not think it would impact you?
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] dew.man:
Could not agree more!

I got almost 5 hours SOT last night playing with my new toy on its first charge. Pretty heavy usage today since 5am with several calls, numerous notifications, music playing non-stop in the background and I'm at 71% mid-day. Way better than my S8 and at least on par with 2XL. This is only it's second battery cycle and none of the app optimizations have kicked in yet. I'm very optimistic!

Depends! Contrary to what's been posted here, a radio trying to hold a faint signal or constantly trying to reconnect can run down a battery much, much faster than a screen. Pegging the processor can also chew up your battery in a heart-beat. That said, there are tons of optimizations that can be introduced in hardware, firmware, and even software that can make a smaller battery outlast a larger one!
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] EeZeEpEe:
Right those two right there affects small and large battery capacity phones. Might as well get as large as battery as you can to begin with.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] mlodykaras:
Hi guys. Just wanted to chip in to the conversation as I will be most likely getting the smaller pixel 3 soon.

After reading all the posts I decided to share my findings as I recently used phones with similar battery capacity and my case shows or proves that small battery doesn't always mean sot is going to suck. I for example turn off a lot of Google things (all tracking, scanning, syncing etc turned off unless I need them) and I'm getting regularly 5-7hrs sot on my U11 with 3000mAh after 1,5years of use and just because I'm constantly at work or home where my coverage is really poor and I'm still on Oreo! Also I tested Essential phone two weeks ago for two days which has 3040mAh battery, LCD screen and higher resolution panel and SoT was amazing. I got 9hrs on the first charge! Maybe it was Android Pie credit as I found that standby time was just off the chart!

Based on all of the above I think that with a good setup the phone can pull of at least 6-7hrs sot with smart use unless you game all day ;) Hopefully LG created a good, efficient and long lasting panel and it will help the battery life. Snap845 theoretically should help as well againts 835 but looking at the 2018 phones battery tests everyone took a dive there so I'm not so sure anymore ;)
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] Kantide:
Yesterday after I received I had 4 hours of screen on time while I setup the phone after a short initial charge. Phone went from 71% to 48% before I plugged it in for the night. Also, from about 50% as received, time estimated until full was about 1 hour on the supplied quick charger. Not too bad.

I had the Chrome 69 installed on my S9+ and tabs appear as the new material design with round corner and white background as described in the Play store.

However, my tab S3 remain unchanged after upgrading to Chrome 69. I had tried changing settings in chrome://flags/#enable-chrome-modern-design and reinstall it but not working.

May I know if it is possible to make the Chrome 69 on my tab S3 have the new out look? Thank you.

I hate this stock Android.

Is there any app lock in this "ZenFone max pro M1" like ZenFone 5 (2014) inbuilt. I can't find any and I need it badly. Some friends don't even ask "can I have it", of course I don't mine but give me some space.

Millions of thanks for this ZenUI keyboard. It's delicious.

I was using ZenFone 5 2014 and try the lowest price "Mi 5A" but eventually jump back Asus now. And I hate this stock Android experience thing. No lock for apps, no hiding options for app, no cloning options for app. I thought Asus is perfect but now I can c there is no difference at all. Don't want to go too deep but that ZenUI launcher was best for me. But now now grid size, even drop down menu where all that Bluetooth, wifi toggle switches placed is annoying. Why just 6 toggle switches at a screen. ZenFone 5 has smaller screen but it saws everything at one place. This new stock Android can't use space properly or what?

I think I have to switch back to Nova launcher. Hate all this new experience.

1. Use LG Bridge to "repair" the phone will get you back to stock Oreo and LG OTA updates. But will not relock your bootloader so you still see the code orange warning.

2. To relock your bootloader, read the FAQ contained in the unlocking guide. Essentially it's a fastboot command.

Both steps will wipe the phone so backup your data first.
