    I don’t have precise before/after benchmarks, but it got much better on my Pixel 7a after I installed the Android 14 beta. Let’s say that now I can afford not to charge my phone for 2 days straight with normal use and I don’t even use battery saver.

      Wow!! That’s great to hear, I might even consider a pixel now if I see people saying the battery no longer is of concern
