Google rolled out some battery changes recently to prevent lithium explosion s/malfunction. Not sure if the 8 is affected but yeah the a series was part of that and a couple of other models.

PSA This data correlates almost exactly with my battery stats before I realized the very dangerous battery swelling up like a balloon under the screen.
I'm very not observant and didn't notice any physical difference until the screen fell plum off the chassis
Good call. Measured the flatness of the screen and back glass. Both are perfectly flat. If there's any swelling going on, it hasn't pressed against them yet.
Good deal. Hope I didn't frighten ya too much. :D I was also told that you should be able to feel the pressure against the screen before seeing a visible difference too. (I'm still a little peeved I didn't get more of a warning from the makers of my device, but that's life)
My Samsung note 4 did that with every single replacement battery. Super annoying
I'm at the point where I'm no longer interested in better battery longevity --we gonna need safety ratings like vehicles at this trend
Isn't that the note that explodes?
I haven't noticed yet, but I will install Accubattery as soon as possible.
Yes! I'm suddenly needing mid-day charges.
Assuming you're on an 8 Pro, install AccuBattery and clock its capacity over a week.
I'm on the base model currently, so not sure how it would compare.
Here's mine from Accubattery, running Graphene on Pixel 8 Pro
Interesting... This was right about the time that I started getting pop-up messages on my phone about pre-ordering the Pixel 10 Pro and getting $450 off. Coincidence? 🤔
I don't know if it's a coincidence but I did notice it on my Pixel 8 Pro! The interesting thing is that I'm running Graphene OS, not stock
I'm on an S22+, something weird was happening for a while with mine:

This is all time:
