For by far most of people out there, battery life is effortlessly one of, if not the most essential highlights when hoping to get another cell phone. We've seen a similar thing consistently: producers guarantee enhanced battery life because of more power effective processors, while Google guarantees their most recent adaptation of Android is more upgraded and battery amicable — however once in a while do either dramatically affect battery life. In any event not in reality.
The Google Pixel 2 XL packs a pleasantly measured 3,520mAh battery into its thin edge. It's dead even with the 3,500mAh battery found in the Galaxy S8+ and keeping in mind that you'd expect similar battery life, that couldn't possibly be more off-base. I've been utilizing the telephone for as far back as 3 days now, and I've been recording the battery life I've been accepting up until now. How about we investigate.
Pixel 2 XL Battery Life
Before we begin, it merits specifying (again) that battery life is something or other that will never be the same for any two individuals. There are essentially an excessive number of factors at play. Notwithstanding when we're managing two of the same correct gadgets, things like the applications introduced, cell flag, or administrations running out of sight — these things significantly affect battery life and can skew the outcomes. For me, whatever I can do is think about the battery life I've gotten on comparatively prepared gadgets. That being stated, how about we proceed…
In the course of recent days, I've possessed the capacity to reliably hit 5-6 hours of screen on time with the Pixel 2 XL, something I commonly just observe from gadgets like the Mate 9 and its considerably bigger 4,000mAh battery. This isn't precisely overwhelming use, I predominantly check Twitter, peruse some Reddit, and shoot the infrequent messages to companions or family. On gadgets like the Galaxy Note 8, most days I'd battle to hit 4 hours of screen on time, while the OnePlus 5 was a great part of the same.
With respect to extra subtle elements worth saying, my brilliance is physically set to around half, I have around 150+ applications introduced (counting Facebook and Facebook Messenger), Ambient show set to dependably on, and the new Now Playing highlight on the bolt screen (continually tuning in). As such — I haven't precisely been keeping down.
Whatever Google is doing with the Pixel 2 XL, they appear to have at long last nailed down Android's famously poor battery life. Regardless of whether this is exceptional to the Pixel 2 XL or all Android gadgets running Android 8.0 Oreo stays to be seen.

Pixel 2 XL Charging Times
Battery life is just a single portion of the condition while analyzing battery life. Charging speed is another vital metric and we've seen heaps of headways here finished the previous couple of years. Motorola has their own particular 30W Turbo Charging innovation, OnePlus has Dash Charging, and Qualcomm has been touting Quick Charge 4.0 as the following enormous advancement of quick charging.
Google, then again is focused on utilizing the USB agreeable Type C Power Delivery on their gadgets. Utilizing the stock Type-C to Type-C link that came in the crate, alongside the stock charger (5V/3A standard charging, or 9V/2A for Rapid Charging), I ran the battery down to 0% and nearly checked to what extent it would take to completely charge the Pixel 2 XL.
The outcomes? It took an extremely amazing 2 hours and 43 minutes to "Quickly Charge" the Pixel 2 XL with the stock charger/link. In case you're interested to see a nitty gritty breakdown on how quick the telephone charges, look at my past post here.

Charging speeds were additionally really conflicting, particularly when it went to the anticipated charging times showed on the bolt screen. At to start with, it was demonstrating an excessively idealistic 24 min until full, however that number in the long run hopped far up and backed off significantly finished the course of being connected to. As such: the Pixel 2 XL's assessed "X min until full" is add up to bullsh*t.
It's significant that the time it takes to completely charge a telephone isn't the manner by which quick charging works. What you need to focus on is the way rapidly the telephone hits half to 75% stamp. It's after those rates where charging speeds are throttled and you more often than not observe a major plunge in paces to protect battery wellbeing.
And still, at the end of the day, the charging speeds I'm getting on my unit are significantly not quite the same as what I've seen others report (somewhat less than 2 hours, the same as a year ago's Pixel XL). By correlation, the Galaxy Note 8's 3,300mAh battery took 1 hour and 47 min to completely charge, while the OnePlus 5's 3,300mAh battery can charge to 60% in just 30 minutes.
Quick charging speeds are a greater amount of an additional advantage with regards to Android gadgets and keeping in mind that a moderate charging gadget can be a burden, it's once in a while a major issue. I'm not precisely beyond any doubt why my charging speeds are so low, yet I'm certain Google is now chipping away at a fix.
What have you all been getting? Report your battery life and charge speeds in the remarks underneath and we should analyze.
