On the Tom's Guide battery test, the Pixel 6 turned in a disappointing time of 8 hours and 13 minutes and the Pixel 6 Pro's best time was 7:53. The phones our best phone battery life list last 11 hours, and we consider 10 hours or above good. However, this is just one battery test and you can get more endurance in everyday use with Google's Tensor chip optimizing things for you, such as prioritizing apps over others. The Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro both fared well in benchmark testing, even if they're a step behind the iPhone 13 and Galaxy S21 series on some tests.
