Google Pixel users are getting a killer battery health upgrade soon. That will allow for greater control over the charging, in a bid to protect the battery health.

Google releases battery optimization features for Pixel phones, offering users choice between 80% charging limit and adaptive charging to extend battery life.

From my own experience with Google’s smartphones, especially those with custom-designed Tensor processors, heating has been a mainstay. Moreover, the poor battery life, as recent as the Pixel 8 series, nudged me to finally look elsewhere.

Google is aware of its Tensor chip's shortcomings, but Pixel 11 might still come with some downgrades - but it's for a good reason.

The Google Pixel 11 will utilize a new Tensor G6 chip. The Tensor G6 chip may have downgrades, like cutting the core count, but it's intended for optimization. Google will focus on making improvements to the thermals and battery life.

Early Black Friday deals are happening now, and that also means great savings on smartphones, such as the popular Pixel 9 series, that Google has already teed-up on some great discounts. Check out a few great deals on the Pixel 9,
