I have a Pixel 6 and after 1 year the battery is terrible. I intend to move to Pixel 8 because of longer updates and Desktop Mode. Unfortunately they don’t have removable batteries yet.
If they would just offer an official replacement service like Apple does for the iPhone then this could be my next phone. Sure its expensive (around £85 for an iPhone 12 Pro), and sure it is often easier to get some random 3rd party shop to replace your battery but I would rather pay more for less risk with the replacement.
I have an almost 2 year old pixel 6 too and I’m thinking the same thing. I really wanted to keep this for longer but I’m not sure I can justify buying a replacement battery when I know that the 8 will be supported for longer.
Don’t, you don’t need a new phone as phones have reached peak performance. I would suggest you to try installing graphene OS or any other custom roms from XDA.
If you dont know how then ask someone who’s tech savvy and they will make your old phone, a brand new phone.

Really? With average usage, my 6a ends the day at 70%+
Maybe you got a lot of crap running
My 6 Pro’s battery is nearly as good as new after 2 years.
No, I am already using GrapheneOS and all apps that I am not using are disabled.
That’s odd cuz I’m also using GrapheneOS. Pixel 7 should have a better battery then my 6a

They do have authorized repair services at least in Canada and the US. Battery replacement with a genuine part is $80-100.

I totally would, but I have the Verizon pixel 6 unfortunately.
I am already using GrapheneOS. I realized this problem with my battery after August Android Update.
I am thinking exactly the same. Probably I will give my Pixel 6 to my father and buy a new Pixel 8 because of the longer support.
