I'm curious about battery life and how it handles Android 15. One video reviewer said his phone got real hot after updating. Thanks.

    I don't see a difference compared to the previous version based on A14. Mine is 6a, too.
    Maybe a faulty app, not fully compatible with A15. Just a wild guess...

    jeffers I've not noticed a meaningful difference in battery life on my 6a. I'm still getting 2+ days between charges, though my app selection is carefully limited.

      My 6a was warmer than normal when updating and optimising apps, but then that's a pretty intensive background operation. On a day to day basis there is no difference.

      Pixel 6a here.
      On Android 15 since stable release.
      Owned and on grapheneOS since January 2023.
      There is no more or no less battery consumption.
      I have Google play installed.

      At the end of the day with 45-55% depending usage.

      Yes it gets temporarily warm when you do an OS update. Nothing to worry about.

      6a here as well - no difference from android 14 - I have very few apps, however and only the owner profile.
