    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.

      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.
