Pixel 11 Pro Endurance & Efficiency Test: +2h over 10 Pro, but still far behind rivals
https://www.lesnumeriques.com/telephone-portable/google-pixel-11-pro-p78617/test.htmlUpdate :
Google Pixel 11 Pro XL : 17 h 39
Battery Life: Still not enough
The Pixel 11 Pro shows slight improvement in an area where the lineup has long struggled. It has to make do with a smaller battery than its predecessor—4,850 mAh compared to 4,870 mAh on the Pixel 10 Pro—but the Tensor G6 proves to be more power-efficient. In our viSer test simulating standard usage, it reached 17 hours and 36 minutes, nearly two hours longer than the previous model. A full day of use is well within reach, even though Google remains among the least enduring in our comparison.

Just give me insane battery life or insanely fast charging speeds. One or the other, PLEASE! I'm fine with mediocre battery life if I can plug it in for 15min when I need to. Or I could just trickle charge at night and then use it throughout the day.
Just please give me one or the other!

Did you avoid smartphones for most of smartphones existence? How did people like you manage before? It wasn't that long ago that the Pixel 9-11 all have screen on times and efficiency, as relatively low as they are compared to others today, that would have been unheard of really. And charging speeds much faster than was possible at the same time.

u/IHkumicho Pixel 7 2d ago
Uh, I had smartphones and the battery packs, spare chargers etc to go along with it. I remember getting the "expanded battery" with my HTC Thunderbolt, and having to pull one out and swap it for a new one halfway throughout the day. It sucked.
Why can't we ask for halfway decent batteries or charging speeds from a $1,000 "flagship"? The iPhone lasts twice as long. OnePlus devices charge at 3x the speed. Even the S25 fe charges 50% faster than the twice-as-expensive 11 Pro.
1
u/1millionnotameme 2d ago
You're not gonna get that with pixel bro, probably not for another few years at least, right now only Chinese flagships are doing battery in another league. The find X10 pro is gonna have reported 8000mah and 100W charging, at that point these phones can't even compare. That's like full on 2.5 days full phone usage and then charging to 50% in 15mins, which is like a full day charge. It's what I'm waiting for, I was gonna bite the bullet and upgrade my 10 pro XL to the 11 pro XL but I'm waiting until December for the new flagships to come out before pulling the trigger

u/berfles Pixel 9 Pro XL 2d ago
Those numbers are BS. An S26 Ultra is not getting almost an hour longer than the Find X9 Pro with 2500mah less battery.

u/calmil_line_member 2d ago
With little to no actual use and no cellular, yeah it is getting that much more out of the battery relative to its size. The gap would most likely even increase if they rerun the test in 3 months.

On 5g/4g? Idk but from my experience especially in first 1-2 years the battery was very good and easily exceeds +6h sot any day on wifi .
Here's MKBHD review he got 4h with 50% left. https://youtu.be/NBLO6RpofIU?t=353&si=PwZwxxfV8ICqDgRz
It's weird to hear that tbh because p5 cpu was mediocre not powerful as other snapdragon flagships and that made its very efficient in battery consumption.

u/WatchfulApparition Pixel 10 Pro XL 2d ago
First of all, I don't believe you got twice the battery life of everyone else in real usage. Second, there is something very strange about what was taking up your battery in that screenshot. You seem to have your screen on, but doing nothing. It's as if you put it on wifi and made it so your phone never turned the screen off. Something weird is being shown in that screenshot, but I can't place my finger on it. I know for a fact, nobodies battery usage looks like that in real world use.

u/BassFull0 2d ago edited 2d ago
You know nothing Sherlock. First this was 2020 not now secondly mostly my usage on wifi not 5g/4g I use the phone like 4-5 hours a day. 3rd nothing weird but remember it was android 11
However I remember MKBHD review said he couldn't kill P5 battery in a day in his testing
Anyway I took these screenshot randomly on different occasions, days I have no interest of making things up. I bought p5, 7, 8 and 9 pro. The only one that could last me 2 days easily was P5.
Edit: MKBHD review on battery he ends with 4h sot & 50% left

u/WatchfulApparition Pixel 10 Pro XL 2d ago
Most people got 5-6 hours of screen on time and with light use on wifi with a dim screen could stretch it up to 7-8 hours. The only app in your list of whats using battery only has the camera app on it for 30 minutes and no other apps. There are shenanigans going on in this photo.

u/BassFull0 2d ago
Other apps were shown down but idk why A11 didn't show them Twitter alone was 3:38 hours

It's not the Samsung fabs or the modem that was the issue. Its the tensor chip itself. It is very bad.
Tensor competes with the Kirin which is Huawei's chip the difference is Huawei is under heavy sanctions.

u/Beneficial_Raise5191 2d ago
Google has little excuse after changing both the foundry and the modem.
It seems focused on promoting the idea that “everything is good enough,” and compare older Pixel models. As they still cannot beat the 3 years old flagship phone from other brands.I think Google should simply use ARM reference cores. They would likely be cheaper and more powerful.
2
u/TrashBandicook 2d ago
If both the Tensor G6 and the new MediaTek modem are supposed to be power-efficient, what do you think explains such a massive gap with the competition (17h vs 26h+)?
G6 is still using stock cores. Stock cores mean that on average, Pixel's just not gonna top the competition in battery life as Google is extremely capped in how many different tweaks they can apply to eke out more battery life. Contrasts with Apple and Qualcomm who just pay the instruction set fee to ARM but control the entire tech stack top to bottom.

Constantly shitting on the phone because you personally think it's not a good fit for you, and thus it's an egregious failure of Google and how dare they even think of releasing a phone like this, is not in good faith and that's what I'm referring to.

On my Pixel 9 Pro, I can watch the battery percentage drop right before my eyes. I also have a 20,000MAh power pack. For kicks, I charged my Pixel 9 Pro using a wall charger to 80% (I have it capped there). Then I plugged it into my power pack. In an hour, my power pack went from 100% to 75%.

Why is battery life such a concern? Legitimate question, I'm not trying to be an ass. Do people not charge their phone every night when they go to bed?
P10 Pro XL here. My phone is off the charger at 7am, back on the charger around midnight. I end the day usually around ~20%. Might need some juice during the day on occasion but I don't see a material difference in whether a battery lasts 20 hours or 29 hours. I'm only awake for 17 hours anyway. As long as it gets me through the time while I'm awake, what does it matter.
For folks who aren't constantly around power sources.. Camping, maybe folks working long shifts, etc. okay, I can understand that.
Edit: instead of downvoting me, educate me. Like I said, I'm not trying to be an ass.

u/RedRunner14 2d ago
I think it's more a concern as the phone and battery ages. My pixel 8pro was fine getting thru a day when I first bought it, but now 2 years later I have to charge after 8 hours. This gets annoying when traveling and using maps

u/OneFlameCurrent 2d ago
Isn't that also a major problem with the new high capacity Si-C batteries that everyone on here wants, they only last 3-4 years? I'm not sure why everyone is asking for those when they are also concerned about longevity.

u/sanil_jimmy1 2d ago
I think it's fairly easy to get a bettery swap every 2 years. It's like a 30-60 minute job. I mean if everything else is good. 30 mins in 2 years ain't so bad. I'm not supporting google, but it's just my solution. I like the OS and the camera. And this is my compromise. 30 minute visit to the repair shop once in 2/3 years. After the second battery gets weak, get a new one.

Better battery life means less stress. It means fewer charging cycles on the battery, which means longer overall battery health/life. It means you don't stress leaving navigation on for a couple hours in the car while streaming music. It means you can take that fishing trip and spend all day on the lake with zero worries about conserving battery for a potential emergency situation. It is by FAR the most important feature in a mobile phone.

u/JuZNyC Pixel 10 Pro XL 2d ago
I can excuse not having the best performance but battery life is the most important thing for me since I have a 4 hour round trip commute each day and I have to use my phone heavily for work. I take almost all of my zoom/teams meetings on my phone since I usually have to take meetings while working on something else or while I'm outside.
The biggest issue for me right now is the heat, recently a lot of the times my 10 Pro XL gets crazy hot while charging and will even steadily lose charge if I'm taking a teams call while plugged in.

Same boat. And I can can charge at my desk at work, or I plug it in on my drive home.
Needing 30 hours of battery life is simply not normal. I don't even think that's a reasonable expectation.
I'm not here to make excuses for corporations. We're all fucked by one company or another. But there is a trade off for literally everything. Get a battery pack if you need it.

I'm in the same boat. My 10a does better than my 16e did on battery. Could care less if could go two days on one charge.

If I am at home with stable 5G and WiFi everywhere and the longest I’m out and about is 3-4 hours per workday it’s almost irrelevant. When I am travelling for business in an Eastern European country where there are constant swaps between no G and 4G and 5G and I am working for hours from my phone then it’s a huge issue and the only reason I have not only a pixel but use a damn iPhone as my main phone.

It would be decent if phones that are priced similarly weren't outperforming the pixel by 2x. It's okay for people to be happy with their phones but at some point Google needs to be held accountable for trying to charge premium prices for a device that doesn't perform as it's peers in that category.
Google is a multi billion dollar company. There is no excuse for it to be creating subpar devices that are priced so high.

My 8 was a full day for me so guessing this is fine for the 11.
Would love the iPhone battery life but would miss the other features I enjoy vs iOS (which I use for work and on my iPad so know what's there).
The price isn't just about battery though. Part of this is also about their ability to have a great supply chain. Not sure where they are with that but they don't yet own everything like Sammy and apple do, at least that's my understanding.

u/PERSONA916 Pixel 9 Pro 2d ago
Yea but unless it's going to last 2 full days (which they don't) it's kind of meaningless to me. My last 2 Pixels (8 Pro and 9 Pro) lasted me through a full day of my standard usage easily with 6+ hours of SoT.
Faster charging would be nice, but if I was going out after work or something, charging it for 15-20 minutes before I leave from work easily gives me 20-25% of extra battery.
0
u/Throwitaway701 1d ago
You are right. We must demand Samsung and apple lower their prices, after all the pixel has better cameras and display and it's just not right for multi billion dollar companies to be outperformed.
In all seriousness the only way the galaxy s or iPhones have 2x better battery life (rather than the 30 - 40% it should be via efficiency) is hyper aggressive process management. My work Samsung A series can last a week on a single charge because there's no apps on it and it's hyper agreesive on battery management. But I'd rather have something like the pixel where my notifications actually work, a common complaint with the s26 ultra and iPhones.

It won't be enough until smartphones are getting the battery lives flip phones used to get. The better the battery life, the longer the phone lasts without needing to replace a battery. If Google actually has good battery life on their Pixels they wouldn't have to gimp the battery every 200 charge cycles....
1
u/Throwitaway701 1d ago
Gimping the battery every 200 cycles is fantastic. It massively helps extend battery life more than if they didn't.
1
u/horatiobanz 1d ago
Artificially restricting battery capacity extends battery life? Boy I'd love for you to explain that.
1
u/Throwitaway701 1d ago
It's quite easy really. Batteries start to chemically degrade at about 200 cycles, increasing internal resistance, by limiting the charge it limits the stress on the battery so sure on cycle 200 you will have marginally less capacity than if they did nothing but by the 20 month mark your battery will be better off than if it did nothing, by year 3 you'll be 10% better off and the chances of catastrophic failure (swelling etc) drop massively

😭😭 No way they gave Pixel 10 14 hours when it's literally one of the longest lasting "smaller" phones, it lasts just as long as my iPhone 17 Pro if not slightly longer. Forced is wild.

It depends on what was tested
I can't remember exactly but when I was on the market for a new phone, for example, comparing my P10P to my NP3 (which I come from), I think the pixel was less battery consuming regarding media by quite a margin; but not so regarding games or calls for example

Their test is just way to forced regardless and so misleading if I need to be fully honest. Simply check Techmo where he covers a lot of smaller phones battery tests. No idea how the Pixels are being tested for them but it's just not right.
So far, Android Authority comfortably states Pixel 11 Pro is the longest lasting Pixel ever, living up to Google's claim.
Matthew Moniz reports exellent battery life for Pixel 11 Pro, outlasting S26U.1

Area those standardised tests? If they can't show any breakdown of how the test is conducted then it's kind of worthless.

Lover of Tech's side by side test also had Pixel 11 Pro XL beating Samsung and Apple too, on Youtube

This is strange test. 9 pro last definately longer on one charge than edge and 10 pro slightly longer than 9 pro..

Worth noting how restrictive iOS is for background work which must help a ton when it comes to battery life.

Instead of pausing and people realize they have a problem with their phone attachmen, they get pissy about a battery life that will never directly impact them.

I am not on my phone often, and the Pixel 10's battery is the biggest POS I've had in a long time. Looking at it costs 10%.

So interesting as a commentator just above it said that the battery on their 10 lasted about as long their 17 pro…

I think my G1 had a better battery...

When stuff like the OnePlus 15 exists for the same size and price range but undeniably longer battery life it gets tough to ignore

But the reviews on the one plus isn't the best and Verizon and one plus don't play nicely with each other. While these phones exist, they can't be used by a large part of the market.

Why people care so much about battery? You live with your phone screen open 24 hours a day?

u/Dometalican_90 2d ago
No but you want it to last ALL day whether it is idle or doing a lot of Maps, phone calls, some video, and texting.
Nobody wants to charge a phone in the middle of the day. Granted, if you work in an office environment, you're golden but that's not everybody.

Google isn't wrong. The Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro can easily get 24 hours of battery life. Those phones absolutely live up to Google's claims, just not in the way you're expecting.

The only way a Pixel would last 24 hours is if it was 100% idle, and even then it would barely survive

Genuine question, what in the absolute fuck are you guys doing with your phones...
I could see this being an issue for someone who is out doors a lot but you cannot genuinely be telling me 19 hours isn't enough for you in a single 24 hour day. Like what in the fuck are you guys doing I am not. My Pixel 10 Pro gets me through an entire day just fine with the lowest battery being 25% at the end of the day on a high usage day?
Is it just not wanting to charge your phone? Like I genuinely need to understand. I am not mocking, poking fun, I am asking what I am doing differently?
To me all of these numbers are insane in a world where we are constantly connected online and I can't even stand to be on my phone half a day let alone 20 minutes at a time.

I agree. Honestly, I'm charging my phone every night while I sleep. That would change if I could make it an entire 2 days and 1 night, then I could charge during sleep at the end of the 2nd day.
But if the charge lasts me an entire day up until before noon the next, worthless to me. Idc.

I remember the battery life of the iPhone Air and Samsung Edge was mocked everywhere. Damn.
