Literally:

Brand new Pixel. Facebook, Messenger and Pages Manager. Battery at 30% by 6pm.

Delete all three, install Metal. Battery at 70% by 6pm.

Facebook for Android is a fucking vampire.

How do you like the Pixel otherwise? I may need a new phone next year.

I've been telling people it's Google's iPhone 3G - that device that delivers exactly what you're expecting, with zero drama, zero surprises and total competence. The 3G was basically the best iPhone Apple ever made; it's all been downhill from there. Having messed with a 5X, a 6P, a 6, a Galaxy 4, a Galaxy 5 and a OnePlus, I would rank them thusly:

1) Pixel

2) OnePlus One

3) 5X

4) 6P

5) 6

6) wait this just got dumb

You aren't kidding. Phone off charger from 8am to 1am yesterday and didn't even hit my low power mode (15%). I'm used to having to recharge at like 6pm. This is criminal. All this time I kind of thought the 5X was just kind of a piece of shit. How is this not more well known?!

From my few day experiment, I think 20% is a very conservative estimate. I might sound nuts fit saying this, but I'd guess it's more like 30-40%. Wonder if the effect is at all phone dependent.
