² For “over 24 hours”: Estimated battery life based on testing using a median Pixel user battery usage profile across a mix of talk, data, standby, and use of other features. Average battery life during testing was approximately 31 hours. Battery testing conducted on a major carrier network.
For “Up to 72 hours”: Estimated battery life based on testing using a median Pixel user battery usage profile across a mix of talk, data, standby, and use of limited other features that are default in Extreme Battery Saver mode (which disables various features including 5G connectivity).
Battery testing conducted on a major carrier network. For both claims: Battery testing conducted in California in late 2022 on pre-production hardware and software using default settings, except that, for the “up to 72 hours” claim only, Extreme Battery Saver mode was enabled.
Battery life depends upon many factors and usage of certain features will decrease battery life. Actual battery life may be lower.

The Little Mac of Smartphones
At $375, you'd be hard to pressed to find a better phone. My previous phone was a $1,300 Sony Xperia 1 III. It punches WAY above it's weight, with flagship performance and low to mid entry level price. Performance is smooth - older games run beautifully, and the cleanest version of Android you can get means very little background resources being leeched. The OLED display is fantastic, very crisp with vivid colors. My Sony Xperia 1 III had a 4K 120hz OLED panel, and I barely notice a difference. 128GB of storage may not seem like much (I dropping down from 1.25TB...) But after some time I've realized it'll be quite long before that becomes an issue. Coming from a $1,300 enthusiast phone, the camera has left me floored. The software assisted photos go toe to toe with the photos I took for with my old phone. You absolutely will not find a better camera phone at this price. It likely beats many flagships. Battery life has been decent - not perfect, more than serviceable. I can get through the whole day without needing to touch power save mode, even with the 90hz refresh rate on. The phone is also quite compact, it's very pocketable and I'm quite pleased to have taken a step back in size for a phone that's easier to handle. All in all, this phone is phenomenal. It goes toe to toe with phones $1,000 more expensive, and I wish I would have looked into the Pixel A series sooner. The sale ends on 2/24, and at $375, this is absolutely the best value on the Android market right now.

High Quality Phone
The phone is great so far. Build quality is excellent and Android runs very smoothly. I need to get used to some of the screen controls as they're different from my previous Samsung. The fingerprint reader sometimes doesn't work, but that's a minor issue which I've also had on other phones. Display is incredibly vibrant, which is perfect for gaming and videos. The camera is phenomenal and better than all my previous Androids. Battery life seems to be decent and the phone charges quickly. Only drawback is you need to purchase a separate 30W USB-C charger, as only a USB-C cable is included in the box (unless you have a Macbook USB-C charger on hand, which will also work). Overall this may be the best Android phone I've ever purchased, so I would definitely recommend it.

Solid budget phone!
It's a solid phone for the price! I have run into issues with the fingerprint sensor (I don't understand why they moved from the back of the phone to the screen) and am still mourning the lack of my headphone jack, but overall it's good! It was also fairly easy to set up. Camera is pretty good, and has a nice amount of storage. I especially like the ISO balance, it takes pictures with bright lights (see the candle picture) way better than my previous phone.
