How's the battery life on your Google Pixel 4a?

We've talked a lot about the Pixel 4a since its release earlier this year, and for good reason. It's one of the very best values the market has to offer right now, delivering a great display, performance, cameras, and more for just $350.

Following the horrendous battery life of the Pixel 4, we've been quite pleased with how the 4a handles a full day of use. It doesn't have the absolute best endurance we've ever seen, but it's proven to be more than capable of getting through a full day without any problems.

Mine's been pretty good. During the work week, I usually top off after lunch just because I'm like that (and I'm at my desk anyway, so why not). But there's been some saturdays and sundays where I'm doing Spotify w/BT headphones a good majority of the day (starting around 7 or 8) mixed with some FB and browsing, and I'm down to 10-15% by 9 or 10.
