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.

Unfortunately, the performance of Pixel phones are on par with midrange alternatives worth ~€600-€650, but many folk just believe it's worth the price Google puts on it. The last one (10 Pro) 16GB/512GB was sold at around 2x its relative performance value on release.

It consistently pains me to see such high sales numbers on such low value tech -- GrapheneOS makes it almost worth.
