I was full sure I would see battery improvements moving to pixel. Given its their platform and their chipset, I dont understand why it is worse than the midrange samsung I had.

Like way worse, I struggle to get to the end of the day on days I dont drive.

Can anyone explain or do I have an issue.

No one can really answer those questions without more detail. Which pixel, which version of android, which Samsung is it being compared to, is it new or used, what is the battery health, what is a typical day of use like for you? You have to give people enough information to form a response.

Pixel10pro. Six months old. Samsung A55 one to two years old.

The typical day hasnt changed. I get what you are saying about context but the detail shouldnt matter because the question is why does the pixel fair worse compared to the midrange samsung when it is a dedicated google chipset, running their software on their hardware farm to fork. The implication is everything else remains the same.

Fair enough on the phone models I guess.
