Sure, this is very light usage - just 5 hours SoT over more than 2 days of usage - but I couldn’t get this phone to even make it to two days with similar usage on Android 13. And it’s comparable to my previous budget phone, so the only thing the 7a was worse at is now fixed for me.

    The overall battery life is pretty good. But the standby (when screen is off) is still taking like 1% per hour right?

    I did 59.1% / 53,5~ hours.

    I’m more a fan of 1% every 3 hours. Not 1% per hour. If Google managed to do something in the OS to guarantee that it would be amazing. (Note: always considering power hungry stuff like AOD off).

    Also, I recommend checking this from 100% and only after reaching 1%. I’ve recently seen my Pixel 5 draining 1% overnight (like going from 40% to 39% in 7 hours), and that’s a lie in my experience it never does this little. I stopped paying attention to overnight standby drain after seeing this. So to be more accurate it is better to account for the full cycle (99%+ usage).

      My Pixel 7 Pro drops maybe 2-3% all night. 1% per hour is not normal.

        From my screenshot, 1% per hour is pretty much exactly the discharge rate I get when the screen is off. Also seemed in line with most posts about battery life I’ve seen
