⁴ Estimate of typical capacity based on testing and expected cell behaviour.

⁵ Pixel 8: For '24-hour': Estimated battery life is based on testing using a median Pixel user battery usage profile across a mix of talk, data, standby and the use of other features. Battery testing conducted on a major operator network. For 'Up to 72 hours': Estimated battery life is based on testing using a median Pixel user battery usage profile across a mix of talk, data, standby and the use of limited other features that are default in Extreme Battery Saver mode (which disables various features including 5G connectivity). Battery testing conducted on a major operator network. For both claims: Battery testing was conducted in California in mid-2023 on pre-production hardware and software using default settings except that, for the 'up to 72-hour' claim only, Extreme Battery Saver mode was enabled. Battery life depends upon many factors and the use of certain features will decrease battery life. Actual battery life may be lower.

Pixel 9 XL: Estimated battery life based on testing using a median Pixel user battery usage profile across a mix of talk, data, standby and use of limited other features that are default in Extreme Battery Saver mode (which disables various features including 5G connectivity). Battery testing conducted on a major US operator network. Battery testing conducted in California in mid-2024 on pre-production hardware and software using default settings, except that Extreme Battery Saver mode was enabled.
