    Please, please bring back wireless charging. I hate my Pixel 7 pro so much and want to go back to OP, but I can’t use a phone without wireless charging.

        Horrible battery. Doesn’t last even close to a full day. 18:00 here and my phone is at 6%. Will be dead in <1 hour. Was fully charged at 8:00. Typical use. I don’t play games on my phone.

        What’s worse is it takes forever to charge compared to OP. 20W max. Wireless charging is only useful overnight. Takes like 6 hours.

        Constant, fucking Bluetooth issues. I mean constant. There’s a bug with Samsung watch so every time I answer the phone caller cannot hear me until I cycle through speakers. Even without watch connected you never know which BT device will connect when answering the phone (if any.) Sometimes nothing at all works. My personal favorite is it will sometimes randomly switch to a different BT device mid call. I’ll be on headset and will suddenly start hearing the call through my watch.

        Android auto works like shit. Wired is sort of tolerable, wireless barely works. Interrupting audio, constant disconnects or just refusal to connect.

        Absolute shit reception. I didn’t think it was possible to have worse reception than iphone, but pixel is so much worse.

        Overall 3/10. Love the spam call filtering and camera, but rest is my worst experience with a phone ever.

        P. S. I’m down to 4% while I typed this message. Fuck pixel. Buy something else.

          Thanks for your answer. The battery and Bluetooth issues are certainly a deal-breaker, I guess I’ll look somewhere else 😅

          I was thinking of getting a Pixel if the price dropped enough, but I just can’t live with a shitty battery no matter the price. That’s one of my dealbreakers. OP12 is potentially my next phone though.
