G+_Steve Chester Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Has anyone switched from a Samsung phone to the Pixel? I'm thinking about getting one when my contract is up in April, I currently have the S6. My main question is does having "pure" Android stop the instances of updating apps only to have them kill my battery, for instance I go to work one day and my battery is down to 60% after I update apps it'll be 30% the next day after work. Does having "pure" Android help that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_L I Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 If that is an issue particular to Samsungs then I'm sure it would. If it's particular to a certain app and you download that app on the new phone then it would happen again. Have you narrowed the issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_John Piotter Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 I haven't been able to narrow it down. It happens at least once a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_John Piotter Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Adrian Hester why do you say it's not worth the switch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Don Moore II Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Adrian Hester?? it's worth the switch. I came from Note 4 & 7 to Pixel XL. Great change. The battery is so much better than my note 4. Didn't have the 7 long enough to really push it. I'm a heavy user and my phone lasts all day. My wife has the S6 edge and the battery life sucks. She just uses FB and FB messenger and has to be tethered every few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_John Piotter Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Adrian Hester what about on the 6P? That's vanilla Android, so it's basically the same question just with an older phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Chris Hanley Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 If you want a phone with a long life battery then get the moto z play.....unbelievable battery life. I charged my z play, 1 day 15 hours ago and have 3 days left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
