Thanks, I'm happy with the hardware and would keep it, but given I already gave it a battery and it's still the same, it's just gotta go. I try to always go new, but a gen behind. It's like buying a model year car, make believe value, by year 2 you're paying (around) what it's actually worth.
I hear you. My phone is about the only thing I buy new-new, just because of the battery and it has to work without hiccups.
I hang around the YouTube reviews until the notable ones say the battery is ok. They were saying the P6 battery sucked fairly early on.
I'm not a gamer but the battery life on the Pixel 7 Pro is great. I have quite a few apps set on "unrestricted" rather than "optimised" with "app battery usage"; like a birthday app from F-Droid which is supposed to notify of birthdays in advance - so I can buy cards and post them over seas. Didn't seem to make any difference in the battery life that I could see - I don't monitor the Screen on Time.
Good luck. I'm sorry you had to buy another battery and it didn't solve your problems.
