Bombardment Life

The Pixel 2 XL comes with a 3,520 mAh (13.55 Wh) non-removable battery, which is on-equality with other flagship smartphone batteries for a call of this sizing. The display is 11 percent larger than the Picture element XL but the battery is only three percent larger, which bequeath raise few flags with some people. All the same, the Snapdragon 835 is a saltation in efficiency over the Snapdragon 821, so this discrepancy won't be noticed during regularised usage.

Across a inaccurate variety of the tests that I performed, the Pixel 2 XL offers around an spare time of day of battery life compared to the Pixel XL, which is an important-looking improvement considering the hardware constraints. The last gains were seen in more intensifier workloads like PCMark, while World Wide Web browsing power saw a decent amplification twelvemonth-on-year.

The Pel 2 XL also fares favourably compared to a range of unusual flagships on the market now, particularly smaller devices. The handset is just about on par with the Exynos Galaxy S8+, and it's only somewhat keister the littler Xiaomi Military Intelligence Section 6 6 which packs a akin battery capacity. Phones like the OnePlus 5 fall well behind in web browsing tests but perform okay in former situations, while handsets like the HTC U11 are nary match for the Pixel 2 XL.

The end result is excellent battery lifespan in most situations. You won't exist blown aside with ridiculously longitudinal electric battery lifetime, but there's enough juice therein handset for a comfortable Clarence Day's bring on despite its 6-inch display, and hovering around the top of our battery benchmarks is always a white sign.
