The Pixel 9 series has way better battery life, but it also delivers improvements to charging. One of those improvements is that the Pixel 9 has higher requirements for fast charging, helping you better know if your charger is truly up to speed.

    My OnePlus 8T lasted over five years and to be honest would probably still be ok, and it charged at 65 W. That’s way faster than the pixel 8 pro I use now. Batteries have gotten way better than they used to be.

      It probably lost 20+% of it’s max charge in that time. That’s what I’m talking about.

      • That’s fairly normal for any battery, regardless of charging rate. I have a OnePlus 9 and haven’t really noticed any huge battery degradation, my phone still easily makes it to the end of the day.

        And if not, I charge it for just a couple minutes and get half of the charge back. It’s pretty great. The newest phones can even charge at 100W+. You barely need to bother plugging it in overnight, just plug it in when you take a shower or have breakfast or something.
