alt Hacker NewsDid the 7 and 8 have that much worse of a battery? I'm currently replacing the two Pixel 6 in my household (end of security updates), and there is nothing wrong with those. The hardware, battery included, is as good as new (or at least, not impeding our use).
I still use a pixel 6a. I don't really care about security updates. This was my wife's phone. I would say battery life is a bit worse in the 7a, but if you are already opening it (to change the screen), then you may as well replace the battery
