Is it normal when my battery drops this fast on new Pixel 10 pro?

I use my iphone 17 (100% health/87 cycle) and brand new Pixel 10 pro (100% health/15 cycle) in the morning for general scrolling, 10 -20 minutes on each device.

iPhone battery percentage typically does not change, while P10p usually drop 3 to 5 percent.

Similar thing overnight, iPhone stays drops 1 to 2%, while pixel drops 6-7%.

I dunno if i have a defective battery or just they way phones estimate battery life. Maybe iphone is lying to make users feel good?

pizzadequeso seems fast if it's literally 10-20 min but I don't know your brightness or antenna signal strengths.

I've seen new iphones have better battery life than my brand new Samsung work phone.

Do you have the 80% limit set on the Pixel? If so, this can take weeks to accurately calibrate and to show an accurate about of charge. The same is true for brand new pixels but to a lesser extent without having the 80% limit enabled.

If this doesn't get better in the short term on it's own you may want to consider turning off smooth display.

I have battery set at 100 for both phones. But I did try 80 for a few days, same thing: significantly more drain on pixel.
