I’ve had to move to a Pixel 7a as a surprise replacement. I’m content enough with it, performance is acceptable, but battery life is worse than I’d like. How do people get by with a 7a? Buy a bunch of wireless chargers? Buy a magsafe case? I don’t see any battery cases so I imagine that’s not an option. Any recommendations would be great, thanks.

    Ooo thank you. I’d be surprised if there weren’t similar results, they’re very similar. I just haven’t worried about my phone battery for years and find myself obsessively looking for battery improvement tips so I’d looove it if it gave a serious improvement. Thanks again!

      I don’t know how bad is the battery for you. But start checking the (partially useful) battery menu and change app battery usage from Optimized to Restricted to apps that you can afford having to wait for a notification to appear. Mainly do it on apps that appear there and you barely use it.

        Thanks. Restricted a few. I try to keep my phone clean of non essentials but there were a few I could.
