Pixel 7 pro here and it's a total piece of shit. Garbage cell connection on tmo and spectrum. Random Bluetooth issues. Battery that can't last even close to a full day and incredibly slow charging speed. Only decent feature is the camera/photo software.
Unfortunately not many options left. Oneplus is dead to me after they removed wireless charging. Asus is just dead. Samsung ruined otherwise great hardware with worst software of any other Android phone. I never considered other phones seriously, but I'm open to suggestions.
I just need a reliable phone with wireless charging and decent camera.
I've never had any connection issues with the 6 Pro, but it could be because I'm on Google Fi. Also, the battery on my phone lasts the entire day. I use a high watt charger so I don't know how the charge speed would compare if I used a 2a charger.
It's a shame that the 7 Pro isn't up to par.
My experience with the 7P is the opposite.
Also on Fi, but that is just T-Mobile. My connection has been great. Battery life is good. I don't mind the slow charging and intentionally plug into an even lower power charger to hopefully extend the longevity of the battery.
My wife's experience is closer to OP's though. She's had problems like that on most phones when I don't even though we often have the same model. I think it is something to do with the games she installs.
Before the Android 14 update, we had 5G turned off. It seems the update to the radio firmware has fixed the battery drain problems.
