2 Estimated battery life based on testing using a median Pixel user battery usage profile across a mix of talk, data, standby and use of other features. Battery testing conducted on a major US operator network in California in late 2024 on pre-production hardware and software using default settings. Tests began with phones fully charged. Battery life depends upon many factors, and usage of certain features will decrease battery life. Actual battery life may be lower.

The accessories are not water or dust resistant. Water resistance and dust resistance are not permanent conditions, and will diminish or be lost over time due to normal wear and tear, device repair, disassembly or damage. Phone is not drop/tumble proof, and dropping your device may result in loss of water/dust resistance. Damage from drops, tumbles and other external forces is not covered under the Limited Warranty, and liquid damage voids the Limited Warranty, but you may still have certain rights available to you under applicable consumer law. See g.co/pixel/water for details.

For both claims: Battery testing conducted on a major US operator network in California in late 2024 on pre-production hardware and software using default settings, except that, for the ‘up to 100 hours’ claim only, Extreme Battery Saver mode was enabled. Tests began with phones fully charged. Battery life depends upon many factors, and usage of certain features will decrease battery life. Actual battery life may be lower.
