Google packed the Pixel 9 Pro XL with a punch, as evidenced by its latest leaked specs.

    Battery life and performance go hand in hand. Race to idle when done correctly gives both great battery life and feels nice to use.

    I don’t use my phone for a lot of intensive things often, but when I do I punish this thing. Also for work we abuse our poor phones.

      I don’t disagree with the theory but I’ve been getting barely a day of battery life since I started buying smartphones 15 years ago. As processor efficiencies are made, they waste all the power elsewhere.

      I want to know how long a Nexus 5 would last with a modern battery and CPU and modem.

        A modern nexus 5 would also have modern software and probably get the same battery life because of it.

        And while I don’t use my phone a whole lot, I pretty easily get 2 days of battery life out of my iPhone. Had I gotten the MAXX XL Xtreme instead of the smaller one I’d easily get 2 days of battery life. And that’s with my maximum charge limited to 80%.
