1 Maximum battery life is approximate and is based on testing conducted in California in mid-2023 on pre-production hardware and software, using default settings with a median Pixel user battery usage profile across a mix of talk, data, standby and the use of other features. Battery life depends on the features enabled, usage, environment and many other factors. Use of certain features will decrease battery life. Actual battery life may be lower.
