Keep in mind that the Google Pixel 6 Pro and the Google Pixel 7 Pro have 2k displays and higher brightness nits and higher refresh rate at 120 Hz. Not to mention the 5a having only a midrange chip which saves lots more battery compared to the high end tensor g1/g2🤷
@@TitansCreed 60hz works for me. Even if i have a 120hz phone, I'll just keep it at 60hz. That extra smoothness gives me a headache. I have a 165hz gaming monitor but use it at 75hz, only set it to 165hz when i game just solely for fps reasons.
Awesome comparison vid, one of the best on TH-cam for the Pixel range! I recently got a 6a and had insane battery drain the first day using it. Once I updated to Android 13 I started to get around 20 hours estimated on a full charge which seems much better :)
Impressive. 5a was considered insanely good battery life, one of the best out on the market, and it is true, however since the 6a is so close with a lot more power/smaller phone, it might not matter unless you want bigger screen/headphone jack. I was second guessing my 6a purchase since the 5a is under $200 all the time, but seeing these new tests, I think I will keep my 6a. Plus with latest Android updates, the battery performance could have improved on the 6a, meaning all those original battery reviews done months ago are outdated and not accurate. 5a still a great phone/great value, but 6a is dope.
My 6a is doing so great. Excellency in battery life at around 20% left at the end of the day. It never disaapoints unlike my old iphone 11 pro. So small and compact, packed with so much power. I will only upgrade when it stops getting android support and when the new 9/10 pixels will have immersive battery life. For now, i aint upgrading shit.
Great to know about your battery life experience with 6A, as I keep reading about battery issues regarding Pixel phones altogether. Even better being a 6A since its deals are so good right now! What about heating, modem issues? Anything? These are the other issues I keep reading about
I have a S22 Ultra, an S23, and a Pixel 6a all for personal use. My Pixel 6a is by far my overall use favorite mainly due to a strong battery life. I easily go all day on a charge heading to bed commonly around 15%. My other 2 phones will always be dead.
13h 32m with Pixel 7 is great. Thank you so much man for testing these pixel phones. I own the same Pixel 7 lemongrass as you. Bought it a few months ago on sale no contract. Enjoying it so far. I never use 90hz refresh rate. I am ok 60hz and I use battery saver it helps a lot. Sub to you and all the best.
Crazy to think that even with the bigger battery in both pro models, that the 120hz and 1440 display drains the battery that much. With my 7 Pro, I've changed my settings to have a 60hz display and 1080 resolution over the 1440 and turned off always on display and I've noticed a huge difference in battery. This also helps not having my phone run as hot either.
@@IsaakMascorro I'll have to give it a try. I have gotten use to it but I do miss the smooth display of 120hz. I mean that's the point of getting the pro version right?
7 Pro screen seemed to be quite a bit brighter at times than other phones. Knowing 7 Pro have brightest screen, it is obvious that by setting all phone at the same percentage 7 Pro will be at higher brightness.
If battery life is important to me, I'm not maxing out the refresh rate. Really would have liked to see more controlled test conditions at 60 hz for all.
Coming from a 5a, I almost got the 6a just now but the best pixel deal right now is on the 7. I chose the 7 also because it's my number, being born on July 7th. I hope I don't miss not having the headphone jack. Thanks so much for doing this test!
@@priscillawalker677 Got the 7 and love it. The battery life is not as good as the 5a but everything else is better on the 7. Wireless charging is a nice bonus.
Man the 6a looks so nice. Ive got the 7 but damn those 6s do really look so unique. Much better design. Shame thier sticking with the 7s design for the 8s
Man, going off what ive watched these battery tests seem to be completely difference between videos. Just watched Mr.whostheboss and 6 pro lasted 7 hours. Thats like 30% worse than in this video. Dont know whats going in tbh. Seems like the phones behave completely different day by day, which actually feels right considering im suprised by hiw low or high my battery is all the time.
This was great. Love the video The A's for win But thats expected. More energy sapping hardware from the pro variants. Good way to know what you need for your own use case🤝🏾
well the 5a uses a midrange chip which less powerful and it and the 6a are 60hz. along with google optimisation its no wonder the cheaper options got more life. if you turned the displays on the 7/7pro/6pro then they defo will last a bit longer than in the video
When you have pro models with bigger battery shouldn't be losing like this. Google needs to optimize better with the battery. Because you're paying for the best for the best.... BUT! The old ones have more fixes to them than the new ones. Time shows that more optimize can make a phone great, but you lose security over time.
Google have a flagship handset, they have a mid range handset but no budget handset. I know the 6a goes on sale in the US for $299 but here in Australia the cheapest it gets to is $599. Would be great to see a phone targeting the $299 AUD price mark (I think that's $150 USD?). Just refresh the Pixel 2 XL.
@@philbaker7389 I ended up buying it outright for $650 when it was on special at JB Hi Fi - though I wanted to have my friend ship it out to me from the US 😅
Never ever buy 5a, within a month started heating issue, after 3 months camera stops working while recording 4k video, after 7 months serious issues with camera even can not take pictures, it heats up and automatically closes camera app, finally after 15 months motherboard died and I am forced to throw it away cause repair cost is bizzare.
Wow I am so impressed. The 6a is a beast! Im an iphone user but I get bored and want to switch sometimes. Who knows maybe one day there will be that one android that makes me say fuck apple! We shall see! My current android is frustrating. I had the moto g power 2021. The battery is outstanding but it's starting to lag. So I'm debating on switching to the pixel 6a. I was gonna maybe get the moto g stylus 5g 2022 but I'm too scared that it will take a shit after not too long. I'm gonna pick up the 6a and see how I like it!
I don't get this. I've seen reviews where everyone is bashing the 6a for its bad battery. And praising the 7. Yet here it outperforms almost every other phone? Real life use is very different I guess. I just want a decent battery life. My phone is dying after 4 years. I'm struggling between 6a, 7, and nothing phone 1. EDIT: I know how 60 vs 90 or 120Hz affects battery, thus the 5a and 6a. Maybe 60hz next time
My guess is a combination of adaptive battery saver (probably requires a few weeks to fully optimize battery usage per a user) and latest Android updates that also made battery optimizations? Reviews 4+ months ago used the 6a for a handful of days and based everything off of that. Either that or certain tasks like TH-cam watching make the Pixels seem deceptively good as TH-cam is Google, Pixel is Google, so some battery magic can happen there where the phones know you're watching TH-cam and shuts down a bunch of the processor after initially loading a video to save power.
@@Dermaybach no improvement on my end. My phone drained 8% overnight with WiFi, Bluetooth and location all turned off. I'm still puzzled how that happened
I had the 6a, drained battery like it didn't have one. Would lose 13% in 8 hours being untouched. That was prior to Android 13. Maybe should of kept it a little longer, but return time was ending. Also, speakers were too quiet, fur us older one good ear ppl.
Man, I only upgraded from the 3a to the 5a because my phone was dying by dinnertime with fairly light use. The battery on my 5a, nearly 2 years later, is still very good... Only really gets into battery saver range if I watch TH-cam for like 6-8 hours a day. But the fingerprint reader on the back has been terrible. It's always failed a little bit, but now it's working like 20% of the time even if I clean it and my fingers, add and replace my fingerprints... No help and I'm up for an upgrade in 3 months. I'm hoping the 7a has a good enough battery, as it's already cutting maH from the 5a size....I don't need fancy graphics, just a phone that simply works when I pick it up.
A physically larger battery will always beat optimisation. Also, a bigger battery protects us a little bit against brands trying forced obsolescence by reducing battery times through software updates in the long run.

Bear in mind that the 7 Pro is 120 hz. If you set it to the same refresh rate as the 6a the battery drain would get better
This was fun! Happy I grabbed a 6a while it was on sale. Will keep this until the 8a. I want to stick with the even iterations. 😂
