General worst phone ever

[Pootch]

I came from Huawei P30:
What I dont like so far:
- Fingerprint: sometimes it work, sometimes not.
-Battery Life: Worse than my 2 years old P30
-Android 13: its a pain. 12 was much better.

We aparently live in an alternate dimention.i love 13 and think 12 is the reason why the 6 seris flopped so badly. The fps in 12 was non existant

bought one, i came from a oneplus 8t and i had the first pixel, but since google piss off, i changed to huawei/oneplus this last years

The good:
*very good Camera for a nice price, very similar to the pixel 6
*screen, sound
*It's fast and fluid with 6gb of RAM
*i like the Format and the construction

The bad:
*Slow charging that hurts
*Not having 5g, at least in portugal

about fingerprint, some times works perfect sometimes not, wtf lol , this shouldn´t be like this.

for 350 euros, its a very good deal, especially for those who need great camera

The battery drain in standby mode (wifi, mobile off at night) is massive.. it consume 25% of the battery.
If this wont be fixed, I will send the phone back to google.

I don't have more than 5% drain on mine overnight. Running GrapheneOS.

Don't care if you have a Pixel 234,5,6,9,12,15,Samsung,HTC, Kumbaya,etc..changing any phone from stock will always give you way way way better battery life. Carriers/Google/OEMs put SOOOOOOO much crap/background/spyware crap it's a slow rape of that phone's potential. Sometimes I wish phones would come to the consumer in choices like in the old days when floppies were around: formatted or unformatted?..hahah

That's true of old android versions (the bad battery management) but a13 does a great job with background management... I get 20 hours on my p6a with cDroid U°...

At the launch this phone may have been choppy and laggy but for me it has been a delight. Bought it from Amazon on black friday (sold for 299e with the CC with Google Tv HD). Amazing phone for this price. I just had Galaxy s22, Xperia 1 IV and Pixel 7 at the same time and I choose this one
Had no problems, using without case or screen protector.

This feels like a spiritusl succesor to the Pixel 3 I had. Great package.

Not bad. I get about 1.5 weeks use on single charge from 75% to 20%, mostly standby but occasional texting/browsing and some calls. Wifi and/or VPN suck the batt down more though on mine so I tend to leave those off unless I consciously want to use them, but this is on a 4a5g on A11 (lineageOS).

I have owned a lot of Android phones but I have to say, this is the worst one ever.

Dropped network connections, drifting GPS, bad fingerprint scanner, unresponsive apps, and overheating. I have 2 of these phones and they both suffer the same issues. I have tried all the updates on both phones and have done multiple factory resets. This has to be an embarrassment on the part of google.

What version do you have? I have jp from AliExpress and this is bad scanner and very hot with battery drain sometimes. I look for iphone now.

 

[ummduh]

I'm almost happy with the phone.

I've got 2 main gripes:

1) Can't leave the 5g on, and can't easily toggle it.
2) I use slow motion a LOT at work for troubleshooting manufacturing processes. This phone doesn't seemt to be capable of live video scrolling. Not sure why. I had an iPhone 12 pro immediately prior to this (my only one ever) a d the slow mo was flawless and it was the only part of the phone I miss.
